Rear Wheel Bearings, '59 4X4

After pressing on wheel bearings sold to me by the local parts store, I discover the outer race is too wide by 1/8".
Can anyone tell me the design width for the outer race or a bearing number? My crude measurement without a depth mike is 11/16" but I can't match that up.

Still can't locate the brgs.
I measured the housing at .65825 depth.
Brgs measured at .84375 width of outer race.
With that width, the cover plate will not bolt down flat.

Resolved!
What a hectic day. Painted cab on the road to my home and axles on the ground.
Came home with the axles and brgs. to find snake bitten dog in back yard, heard of stray horses in the front yard. Just too many things hitting all at once. By the time I took care of the dog, chased off the horses, mowed the yard and searched every nook and corner of a very large yard to locate the snake, my mind was in a spiral. Had to find the snake and get the axles in.
Why did I not among all of those things going on remember the brake backing plate would take up the 1/8"??

F100 or F250? If an F100, does it have a 9" or the Spicer 44?

Brg non problem resolved. Brake plate took up the xtra 1/8".. I couldn't see the forest for the trees.

Do you have numbers for the cab mounts for a 59 4X4?
