B-47 bearing help

[86dean63]

Recently purchased a 63 C20 it's a two wheel drive 8 lug. Whent to replace the front outer wheel bearings and they are big roller ball bearings with a part number of B-47, called the local parts stores and then some, everyone knew what I was looking for but nobody has anything in stock and can't order them. I need to find a replacement set or a interchange bearing. Anything would help thanks

make sure that it is the ball bearing one that you want and not the roller needle koyo or torrington bearings

there are more place to look for it. you just have broaden your horizons a little. if you are going to keep the truck you will have to learn how to search for these things. there are more than likely quite a few places around your area that supplie brgs other than automotive. that brg may have industrial or farming applications. there should be independent bearing house around

I would check your vin # to make sure that you have a 63. in some places if inventory was not sold until the next inventory year they got classified as the current year. someone may also have changed things around and going by bearing # is usually positive for what fits. the timkens are usually less expensive than the 60-62 frt ball brg wheel brgs

rockauto lists it for a 62 but not 63

If you go to a bearing supply place (industrial supply house), and measure the ID of the race, and the OD of the bearing housing, and the overall width of the entire assembly, that's pretty much the critical dimensions you'll need. After that point, you can replace the ball bearing with a roller bearing of those dimensions.

if you look closely at the b75 you will notice that the inner race is different on either side causing a problem perhaps in converting it to a timken.look at the 2 pictures in the link
