Determining AA rear wheel bearing type

[trevorsworth]

Hello all. My 1931 AA is running and driving and we've just finished putting wood in the cab. There are some areas of the chassis which need attention but overall the truck is healthy.



Most concerning to me at this time is the rear wheel bearings. With the rear supported on a jack I am able to grab the wheels and move them around quite a lot. The truck rolls easy and doesn't make any noise but something is obviously loose. I am assuming the bearings are bad.

I understand that there were two types of bearings used in these rear ends, a one piece and a two piece. Is there any way to tell from the outside what my truck has? I'm concerned that once I take it apart I will not be able to put it back together without new bearings in hand.

I also am in need of some measurements for the wood rails to mount my 187A platform bed...


Thanks!
