So today I tracked down an older gentleman I was told about that has a stash of 1959-1968 muscle cars, Not to mention a hoard of parts but unfortunately no NOS axle bearings. But what he did have was even better. This fellow had a stash of super clean axles for 9" ford complete with bearings and the retainers. Yes they are all used but hand picked good stuff. I found a matched pair with original USA made RW207HH Federal bearings. I mic'd both of them and they actually were correct for my housings. Both bearings were interference fit and the right width as well. And they were as smooth as glass when you turned them. Anyhow I could not say no because the gentleman would not take more than $25.00 for the pair so I took them home and the fit like gloves into my diff. Tomorrow I should be back on the road after I hook up the drive shaft. I will continue to hunt on line and eBay to try and find a spare set or two of bearings to go with my now spare set of axles.
