Complete wheel bearing kit source?

Does anyone know of a source for a complete front wheel bearing kit (spindle bearing, inner and outer bearings and races) for an 87 Chevy V10? I found a kit with everything but it is listed for 1978-1991 Blazers and 1978-1986 trucks. I thought that there wouldn't be a difference between Blazers and the 86 and 87 Chevy trucks, but I am leery of ordering it without knowing for sure. So, does anyone know of any differences?

I'd get the one for the 86, if there for a half ton there the same thing. Just my opinion.

I got mine from RockAuto last year. If I remember right, one bearing came with a new race, and other bearing you had to buy a new race separately.

I would agree, the one you want is for the 86 truck. They all had the same front end form sometime in the late 70s'/early 80s (10 bolt).

My opinion, but watch out for the "off shore" bearings/races out there. A lot of the "discount" auto parts stores pawn these all the time. I always use SKF or Timkin bearings. I believe both have online catalogs you can Google to find your part numbers.

You can't go wrong (SKF or Timken )
