Ok guys so i need to replace the drive shaft carrier bearing on my 1949 f6... id really like to upgrade to a one peice unit if possible. I think the original parts are avalible nos still if thats not possible... i will pst in the 48 - 60 also incase someone there can help

 

I haven't got a good look at an F6 carrier bearing yet, but my '74 F100 had one. That said, a later style may work. That may be something your local driveline shop can tell ya about.

 

Was it pressed on? Do u think one with set screws would work?

 

I don't remember, it was a long time ago. I assume this truck you have was a 158" wheelbase? I just looked at a short version F6, and it didn't have a carrier bearing on it.

 

i think end to end it measured something like 19'
so that would make sense

 

I apologize, I did find a carrier bearing on my F6. I just didn't look forward enough. Now that I got it home, I was able to crawl underneath.

One option is going without the carrier bearing and run a bigger driveshaft like that of a late 70's Ford 4x4. You can get conversion u-joints at the local part store.

 

Thanks for the cotinued assistance...
I cant go single shaft because of the mods i have done to the truck
