carrier bearing assembly - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello,
Does anyone know where I can get the following carrier bracket/bearing? Additionally, is there an upgrade to this rusted design?

Notice the lovely 4 holes drilled for a two bolt piece (one side).

yeah, i'm not seeing any issues here either, but i might be missing something. get a new bearing and bolt that bracket back up.

I ment just bolt it back up. The new ones aren't nearly as good as the old ones. So if it is still good, just bolt it up and roll.

Thanks for the insight!

Before I garaged the truck, I didn't have any issues. I am upgrading the engine and trans and thought it might be good to replace, but I keep it going as suggested.

FYI. Its on a 1970 Longbed, Buick 455 and 400.
