Another Center Bearing Question..

Not surprisingly my 72 C20 is making support bearing noise.
Since it's a daily driver, I wanted to order the parts before I took it apart.
They only had the smaller 1/2 ton bearing, at the local parts store, so I wanted to order from one of the suppliers.

This brings me to my question..
There's two diameters listed in the catalog.
1.3780" and 1.5748"
How would I determine which one I need, without removing the part?
I have the heavy duty rear leaf springs.

Re: Another Center Bearing Question..

If it's makin' noise... daily driver or not... you should just pull it an measure it. It will leave you stranded if not fixed.

Thanks for the response..
I have to send away for it..
so is there a way to be sure of this..measuring it on the Truck?

And what is the application for the 1.5" one?

Re: Another Center Bearing Question..

You'll be better off taking it to a driveline shop. They can press it off (instead of hammering) and they have the stuff on hand 9 times out of 10, plus, it's better stuff than what the parts stores will have.
