12 bolt rear axle bearing ?'s

[brans87]

Looking to order a bearing kit to rebuild my wife's 67 C10 12 bolt and wondering is there a certain brand you recommend over another and where do you find the best deal for a kit? Thanks in advance Brandon

timkin bearings seem to be best these days . koyo is good also .

and ring/pinion install kits do NOT come with axle bearings for the ends were the brakes are . must order them separate . and the seals to go wwith them also are not included .

if you just need axle bearings and seals your local parts store should have or get them . and autozone sells timkin .

I'm not sure if you're talking about the pinion/carrier bearings or the axle bearings. Really doesn't matter, I vote for Timken also. There may be something better, but Timkens have never let me down.
