So been working on wife's 67 C10 and got the suspension installed want to installed wheel bearing and rotors but there is a flat circle rubber seal behind wheel bearing and there in rough shape. Has 83 front cross member with brakes,control arms etc....

Where can I find them? Some call them dust shield seals. Here is a picture i pulled off the net.

In the picture it is called gasket. truly needed?best I could do.

Rough looking picture sorry

I don't know where you can get them, didn't look. I haven't seen them on the few 2wd trucks that I have worked on.
My '72 doesn't have them, though.
I would bet that it is to try and keep junk away from the wheel seal.

Not going to super worry as I can always pull rotors back off and replace the seal. Just need to get this rolling to do other work on it.
