wheel bearings...not sure

So I went down to the zone to get some new front wheel bearings and seals.
My option code in glovebox says j50(power brakes) I have the light duty brakes.
Anyway, the people at the zone could not tell from the computer which bearings I needed.
This is what comes up:

Please select one of the following:
With JB5, JD3, JD5 brake system
With JB1, JB3 brake system

I don't know how to decipher this to what I have...
Can someone help me please?
thx

pcmcobra-
You probably have the JB3 system.

JB1 - 1" rotors with manual brakes (C-model)
JB3 - 1" rotors with vacuum-assist brakes (C-model)

JB5 - 1 1/4" rotors with vacuum-assist brakes (Any model)
JD3 - 1 1/4" rotors with hydroboost-assist brakes (Diesel engine)
JD5 - 1 1/4" rotors with hydroboost-assist brakes (Diesel engine)

Re: wheel bearings...not sure

Going to Autozone was the first mistake.
If you have a C10 or 1500 series you need 2, BR3's inner and 2, BR5's outter SKF numbers or SA3 and SA6 Motor City. IIRC they cross to National numbers.

what about hydroboost on gas motors? We go to orielly's and tell them to basically skip the computer, but i'm sure somebody's going to wonder on the hydroboost gas mills...

A good source would be the shop manual. Heims Inc as well as a few other places sells them, sometimes in discount if it is in reprint.
