Axle Bearing Seals for a 1956 Chevy Truck?

BEARINGS, seals for: axles, clutch, differential, pinion, transmission, wheels, all years. Olcar Bearing Co, 135 James Creek, Southern Pines, NC 28387, 910-693-3324.**26-YR**

I got the front seals for my Frazer from them. A Chevy should be no problem.

Try www.rockauto.com. You have to measure the outside diameter of the old oil seal; it appears they used two different ones for that year. It's either going to measure 2.414" (about 2 and 7/16 inches) or 2.633" (about 2 and 5/8 inches). The inner diameters (where the shaft goes through) for these two seals are the same. Good luck!

You have to buy those seals from an Industrial supply house.

Take the old seal with you to your nearest industrial parts supplier and they will match the seal to one they have in stock. If they do not have one in stock then they can order the seals for you.

I buy a lot of seals and bearings for automobiles that the auto parts stores do not sale any more. Industrial suppliers carry a lot of auto parts like seals bearings belts and gaskets etc.

You're absolutely right "Jo-Jo"!

That's what I was going to tell him.However...had the gentleman asked for seals for that axle out of any 1/2 ton GM axle up to 1970,he might have found it.

Dealing w/older vehicles sometimes requires a bit of creative thinking.

You could try www.truckandcarshop.com They cover pretty much the whole range of Chevy pick-up parts. Another source may be www.chevsofthe40s.com. despite the name they carry parts for the 'later' models! Good luck!

in case you already know mechanics and characteristic a variety of of money to spare and characteristic a storage with some area for a motor vehicle and approaches ,I say restore it and upload a 357 Chevy small block and then promote it
