drive shaft center bearing

[northgahearse]

if any one needs one i think i got the hook up for the bearing mount thingy but they are not cheep about 160.00

just had my 70 shaft rebuilt all joints and cvjoints and they checked mine said it looked real good so thats the only thing not replaced. but he says he can get them ....

I think these are the same units as the commercial chassis.

I could be wrong...

That must be some special support bearing for 160.00. Mine was about $35.00. Hope they used KY for that price.

"center bearing support" not just the bearing yeah you can still get just the bearing at auto zone well that might be pushing it a bit ....but not the bearing support...

now find me some front rotors for my 68 thats the hunt for this month.. 68 was the first year for front disks a oddball rotor for the commercial chassis...

being a packrat i kept most the old parts books from back in the day early 80s when i worked in a real parts house and we got new ones for the counter.... i sometimes have my local parts store call me to look up old stuff due that they tossed the old books a few years ago......

but come on guys i have 8 coaches all pre 80s 4 i have tagged and insured that i drive all the time ...... the kid has 2 running and one in total rehab at this time and one Marks old 76 that refuses to want to be put back on the road i have dropped 3 motors in her and she kills everyone of them. that is the only car i have had a strange chill from hummmmmmm she stays in the back covered oneday i might try to bring her back to life if she don't become a parts car...

trust me with 8 kids there is not much i have not had to search for to keep them all going ... but thats why you never see me im working on the damn things every weekend but nothing better them droping that block and it starts and then taking that first drive and making it back home and not on the back of a wrecker wheeeeeeeeeeee

stepping off the soap box now

So I'm guessing for 68 its not running the same rotors as a fleetwood 75?

nope books says so but i got a new set sitting here and they are not even close ....
and sometime in the past someone changed the calipers to stock caddy so its i bit small on the rotors

As far as seals and bearings go, I got my $100 seal for my aircraft at a bearing and chain supply store for about $5, as I recall. Look at these things...they usually say Timken or some popular maker, and some even have a part number. A bearing and seal supply store should have just about anything, even those post-76 Cadillac bearing and seal jobs that move the bearing to the unfucked part of the shaft.

My 76 has a little tiny carrier bearing, compared to the ones I'm used to seeing on trucks, but if you can find anything that will fit in your driveshaft, won't it work, or can't you use a lathe to turn one or the other up or down, and fabricate something?
