Part ID

Hello all,

I bought a '61 F250 unibody yesterday (full introduction and pics forthcoming). I need a part # id on the bearing that the driveshaft runs through about halfway down the body (don't have a shop manual yet). The bracket that contains the bearing was loose and the excess play and vibration of the driveshaft were not kind to the bearing itself.

Thanks,

Justin

I don't have a part number, but it is called the carrier bearing. Most any parts stores carry them. Problem is they are pressed on and off.

D9TZ-4800-A (replaced D4TZ-4800-A) .. Driveshaft Center Support Kit - includes rubber support, shims, center support bearing and etc / Obsolete ~ Available NOS, similar kit sold by auto parts stores.

1961/79 F100/250 & some F350's with Two Piece Driveshaft.

Prior to 1974, all the parts were furnished individually. When Ford introduced the kit, you had to buy it whether you needed all the parts or not.

If all you need is the driveshaft center support bearing, it can be bought from auto parts stores. The bearing I.D. is 1.3780"

CAVEAT EMPTOR - Let the buyer beware. A carrier bearing is another name for a rear axle differential bearing.
