Rear Wheel Bearings

I need rear wheel bearings for my 71 F-100. My VIN is F10YRL27813. I've included on line listings from Kragen (Checker, Shucks) and Autozone.

Autozone lists...

TIMKEN 514003

TIMKEN A-7 - SPICER 44-3 AXLE

TIMKEN INNER 514003P CAN ALSO BE USED

Kragen lists...

CHICAGO RAWHIDE BR7 - Spicer 44 & 60 Axles To Ser # A24999

CHICAGO RAWHIDE CBR7

CHICAGO RAWHIDE R1580-TV - 3600# & 3750# Ford Axles

BCA BEARINGS A-7 - Spicer 44-3; To Serial # A25

BCA BEARINGS 514003 - 3300 Lb. Ford Axle

BCA BEARINGS RUB-1580-EBFR - 3600 & 3750 lb. Ford Axles;

MOTOR CITY S-A-7 - Spicer 44-3; To Serial # A25

MOTOR CITY S-514003 - 3300 Lbs. Ford Axle

How would I know if I have a Spicer or a 3300, 3600, or 3700? I would presume that I have the 3300 simply because this is a base line truck. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I just replaced axle bearings in my 1971 F-100 with a Ford 9 inch with 28 spline axles. Autozone #

#012316 514003 (Timken?) rear wheel bearing with retainer. I believe some of the listings you posted are with/without bearing retainer and with/without axle seal. Mine was just bearing and retainer.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-Oct-02 AT 11:32 PM (EST)]Spicer rear ends look different than a 9" type rear end. On a Spicer, the axle tubes press into the rear center housing, thus 3 separate pieces. The 9" housing is one piece from axle flange to axle flange.
