Truck in question is a 1980 C20 with 454 and Muncie 465 out of a 73 c20 camper special. Drive shaft and rear end are supposed to be the original with the truck that had a 350 and automatic transmission.
Bearing ID 1.378
Center to center of mounting holes was 6 5/8 inch
So as the title says I’m trying to find the correct carrier bearing and not just it should probably work. As I don’t feel like having to change it again prematurely. Parts house gave me an Anchor 6056. ID of the bearing was correct along with the mounting holes. Was also the only one they showed with that ID for my truck. Put the dust cover on and seated the bearing. Well there was a gap between it and the bearing about a 1/4 inch. Along with its ID be much bigger than the knurled step it would sit on. So it would just rattle and probably cause damage to that stepped area just flopping around. Had to tear it apart to get the bearing to fit on to pull it. So money in the garbage can. Went to another parts house. Same exact bearing is what they brought out. One of the guys that’s better at finding parts was in the parking lot when I walked out and asked if he could try and find the right one. Came up with the same one that didn’t work in the first place and one that was exactly the same but without the dust cover. Had a couple others that were exact copies of the original but had a bigger ID. Found the Spicer 210370-1x which the pictures look pretty much like it, but not sure if it is actually like shown. I have pictures of the shaft area, but some reason not the bearing. It’s in the work truck and it’s pouring down right now. I’ll get some pictures of it and some measurements in the morning. Do have several of it still under the truck.
Spicer bearing that looks like what was on it with the same ID and mounting holes, but have only found it online. Only difference versus the picture is the housing is metal all the way around but have seen pictures where it has it.
