Wheel Bearings...front & rear.

[eightbanger]

OK fed up searching, could someone please tell me what part #'s I need? I want to replace the wheel bearings on my truck...front & rear, it's a 71 1/2 ton rwd.
There's two in the front wheels (inner & outer) & one in the rear..right? and is it just bearings I need or are there any seals to buy also?

I hope this helps... I searched for a 71 Chevy half ton...

Your a mate ST...thanks for taking the time to do that, but this is were I get stuck and get dumb, because on the liisting for front wheels they show different pics of different types, some described as inner with a pic of a bearing and a plain ring, then another described as outer with the same bearing but no plain ring, and even on the rear they throw me with a pic of whats described as a cone bearing, and then theres another pic with three items in it listed for the rear wheel.
To add insult to injury, when I click on a few of the listings in the hope of finding out more, it comes up with nothing listed for that item, even worse when I clicked on the "wheel bearing cup inner" it tells you it's for a "Transfer Case Idler Shaft"...is that something that's found on a rear wheel? am I getting stupider with age or is this more complicated than it needs to be??

The trouble is I have no idea how many component parts are in a wheel to make it spin, that is my first hurdle, so basically if knew there was one wheel bearing per corner I would want to be able to go and order two front two & rear, and if I knew there is like umpteen different pieces per corner, i.e seals, inner bearings, outer bearings & cups, then I want to be able to order a full set front and a full set rear..

The plain ring or cup is know as the race. Races are only used in the front tapered roller bearings. So to do all of the wheel bearings you'll need.
2- front seals
2- Inner front bearings
2- inner front races
2- outer front bearings
2- outer front races
2- rear seals
2- rear wheel bearings.

Thanks a million usmc...now I can head to Napa with a better idea of what I'm actually after,
thing is if I had realised there were so many component parts especially in the fronts I would have worded my original post differently.

Cheers again mate, your list has demystified this whole thing for me and it will for others like me.

OK, these are the part #'s for the list of parts that usmc kindly did for me, could you guys have a look and see if they look correct?

All for 71 C10.....
