5 Lug To 6 Lug-inner Wheel Bearing


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey all, I've swapped in a 14 bolt SF into my 1/2 ton 90 RCSB 2wd Silverado. Right now I'm trying to find the proper inner bearings for the brake rotors. I've got c2500 front rotors and I've been told by several people and read in several places on the internet that c2500 LD front rotors are supposed to be a bolt in deal on the 1/2 ton trucks. What I've been told is that the spindles are the same. But, my problem is that I can't find the right bearing. I can find all kinds of bearings that fit the race on the rotor, but I can't find one with the 1.250" ID bore diameter like I need to fit my stock spindle.

 

Some people have said that you must swap spindles, but, I've been told by and read many more accounts of guys who were able to do this swap without changing spindles. My truck is a light truck in the street style so I really don't want to have to hunt down and swap spindles if I don't have to.

 

So what gives here, do the 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton have the same front spindle? Most importantly, can anyone help me figure out what the proper bearing is. I have had no luck finding bearings and I've been to every parts store in town and even called a place in the city that specializes in bearings, still waiting ot hear back from them however.

 

Someone pleas help me out here, what is the part number for the proper bearing to make this stuff work??

 

Thanks in advance.

I believe the correct spindles for that swap are from an ext. cab. LMC catalog indicates that std cab spindles are different. This only works for 6 bolt 3/4 ton rotors.
