Morning Jay, Troy, and Corey!

I sold lot's of those cars way back in the 80's, you couldn't keep the Park Avenue's in stock!

I'm heading down to Jim's shop in a little bit to help move his 49 and get some work done on his F250SD project!

Troy, I would think he is flexible on that one.

Hey Jake, glad it was a good Friday!

Cory,

I buy a lot of bearings for my woodworking machinery. In fact, there are a lot of old woodworking machinery machine forum members that buy a lot of bearings. Most of us order them from Interstate Bearings, in Addison, IL. They are an industrial wholesale supplier, but they are willing to deal with us on small orders, as individuals too. We usually call Lynne Scott and just tell her we're the woodworking bozos.

Anyway, they have everything available. All quality levels. You can order Timkins, Fafnirs, MRC, SKF, KOYO, KBC, or, whatever you want. I would imagine that Napa is the middle man from them to you.

It is best if you know the model number. There are interchange lists that help translate brand to brand. If you don't know it, knowing ID, OD, cup type, thickness at inner and outer race. Having the bearing on hand and a caliper is best. But, if you don't, they can probably help you figure out what you need.

Anyway, I occasionally buy locally if I need something immediately. But, if I can wait a day or two, they are very fast to ship and very affordable.

Good morning Cory, Steve, Troy, Jay, Eric and anyone else stopping by.

Looks to be a nice day out there today, better get motivated and get some out side stuff done.

Eric, I believe Cory is looking for a hub unit bearing, not a normal wheel bearing. But, you never know, they just may carry those too. Thanks for the link, it has been added to my favorites list.
