1962 C40 wheel bearings

I picked up a 62 C40 and am going through regular maintenance items. I have the front wheels apart and am packing and putting in new seals, next to the rear end with seals and wheel cylinders. My problem is that one of the inner wheel bearings is bad and I am having no luck finding a replacement. Does anybody have an existing part number to replace the original, or part numbers to go to the newer roller bearing wheel bearings?

Re: 1962 C40 wheel bearings

I have a 1962 c30 with the original front suspension and it's very hard to find parts for it. I have found the wheel bearings for it in the past and they were NOS on eBay and very expensive. It would be nice if there was aftermarket support for these trucks on the suspension and brakes but understand the torsion bar front end was only a few years. I had parted out a 1981 c30 and saved the front suspension to swap but my frame is pretty crusty so the sheet metal is going on a half ton frame. Sorry I couldn't be any help. Good luck.

Should be able to cross reference these old part numbers and find something.
