Flanged rear Axle

[bezhawk]

I am trying to find rear (outer) bearings and seals for a 64 R3 I'm currently restoring. SI is out and local bearing company can't cross reference the numbers. I did manage to find Twin Traction clutches.

I don't know either but if you find a source, let us know.

Have you tryed this place? They have had every Studebaker bearing I have needed. http://www.alliedbearings.com/

Don't the R3 flanged axles use the sealed '56 Packard Senior bearings? If that is true, Packard Parts suppliers should have some.

If it is a true R3 flanged axle, try a forum search. I posted that info about a year back. They are available from a flaps. The kit is the same as a 1/2 ton Ford pickup of the '60's and early 70's, I think. Comes with seal, bearing and wedding band. I had to replace the right rear bearing on R3 5642. E-mail me if you can't find the post and I'll look up the kit number.

Kit part number - CR 88128-R
