GL-5 75-90w or 80-90w.
Randy's Ring & Pinion sells the third member gear, bearing, & seal parts though the pinion seal might be commonly available. The bearings in the hubs are available through Timken dealers like bearing sales stores we have here. As are the hub seals. Auto parts stores also sell the bearing and seals as well as all the brake parts for the 11" brakes. 12" brakes are more hit and miss. AFAIK, the original hub bearings were barrel roller bearings. Replacement hub bearings are superior tapered roller bearings.
