Could anyone possibly give me a Timken part # for these? My car is a '68 Delmont 88 with a 455 and the dredded unique to itself 12 bolt rear. I cannot find any info through RockAuto, Oreilly, Advanced, etc. These are the press on axle bearings, and I believe they are sealed? Also, how much of a pain would it be for Moser to do me a rear for this car, chevy style 12 bolt or 9" Ford? The problem from what I see would be in the upper control arms, as the original casting has them very far apart versus an A-body style casting. Any input or advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Philip

Try 88131R

The only pain would be in your bankroll. If the money is available just about anything in possible.

If I remember correctly,that bearing is either no longer available,or there is one source.I think when I did one of those rears a few years back,I found the bearings,and they were almost $100.00 each! I started keeping those axle shafts for that reason,if they had good or newer bearings.

I am going to try the 88131R part #, as it is on Fusick's website. I wish they showed a picture of it, though. Thanks for the input, 507OLDS, I figured if anyone on here had some insight on this you would! I actually have a spare one of these boat anchors that seems to have good axle bearngs in it, may just throw the whole thing in my car and not disturb anything in it.
This car just kills me! I am so used to building cars that are more popular with parts such as rear end components and exhaust systems readily available. If it weren't for the sentimental aspect of the whole build I would of just bought a '68 442, a car I've always wanted.
