Which front wheel bearings do I need?

Hello everyone!

So I'm doing a front axle shaft u-joint/front brake/bearing job and I'm having a little problem with figuring out NAPA's serial number system.

My truck is a '78 F250 4x4, 3500# Dana 44 front axle, VIN F26SCAE6084. Does that mean I'm post # B50000?

Are these the bearings I need?

Inner Cone:
BRG 368A
Inner Cup:
BRG 362A

Outer Set:
BRG BR35
or the route of individual:
Outer Cone:
BRG LM501349
Outer Cup:
BRG LM501310

Thanks for taking a gander!

B50000 is mid-year '76 (A00001-D25000). So yours is well after that, AE6084. They switched to two letters starting the serial number in 1978.

Ooooh that makes sense now! Thank you!

Is it possible that the inside of the hub is two different diameters? The ID of the bearings are the same but the OD of the cup are different for the inner/outer bearings. Should they be the same?

Shameless bump.

Is the inside of the front hub two different sizes on the inside/outside?

Guys I really need your help on this one...

Stock 8-lug Dana 44 hub, wheel bearings. Is the inner/outer hub two different ID's? Are the bearings different sizes, or just the races
