I just pulled a drum brake drum off a 1962 hawk parts car frame that I have. The outer wheel bearing reads Timken LM11949 made in the usa. Hard to believe. SI shows the same bearing fits 56-65 for $12.50 Rockauto shows it for $3.33 and it crosses over to fit a 1958-1960 full size chev. Plus they show maybe 30 more interchange numbers for it. Anyone know if the timken Lm11949 is what stude used or is this a replacement?

The front shock was a gabriel with part number 45032 but couldn't come up with what it was listed for. Gabriel shows their part #82087 a gas classic shock for the front that fits 56-65 buick and #82151 for the rear that comes up as 57-62 studebaker also a gas classic both at rockauto for $ 20.79. I think I'll order a set of these when the time comes and see how they fit. The 45032 fit the 62 frame perfect with no extra washers installed if I could come up with what those are.

Both inner and outer wheel bearings are the same as used on the 80's Ford Ranger so I would think the rotor off a ranger could be made to fit. When I get time I'am going to pick one up and work on that. I like the price only $23.00

Steve, I don't know if the Timken LM 11949 is original, but I just took one out of a '56-64(?) 11" drum and mine had the same number. The inner bearing is a Timken LM67048 (not sure about the 8, kinda hard to read).Howard - Los Angeles chapter SDC

IIRC Studebaker used several different manufacturer's brands, depending on the time period, MRC, Timken, Bower and a few others. Bower and Timken mostly later.Bo

You are thinking way too hard about individual bearing numbers. The front wheel bearings used on '56 - '66 Studebaker cars are so common that bearing companies sell them as "sets" of the cone and race. Outer bearing is a set #2, inner is a set #6. (Depending on the brand, they may be called A-2, S-2, etc.)

I was about to say the same thing, those are MORE common than dirt, all of the BOP GM cars use them and many more, a clue would be how LOW the Timken Part Number for the Bearing and Cup set is.
As an aside, I have never seen anything but Timken Brgs. on the Front of any Original post War Stude. The Rears are Bower.
If you buy them for cheap like $3.33 that is what you will get... Chinese LS or SK Brg. copies.StudeRich

Inner wheel bearing a very common, set A-6, outer wheel bearing is set A-2. There are hundreds if not thousands of vehicles that use the same bearings. You will have a very hard time finding a reasonably priced American made bearing anymore. Same with drums and rotors.
