Shop now for Wheel Bearings and Wheel Seals specific to 1969-1972 Chevy and GMC 4x4 trucks equipped with Dana 44 Open Knuckle Front Axles. Great selection. In stock. Quick shipping.
All 1969 to 1972 GM 4x4 SUVs and pickups use the same outer wheel bearings. Inner wheel bearings for 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton models are different. One Wheel Seal number covers all 3/4 ton trucks, but there are two wheel seal possibilities for the 1/2 tons with the change occurring in the 1972 model year. The 1971 and prior Seal is a simple, single lip grease seal that is 1/4" wide. The 1972 Seal is 1/8" wider and it has a spring loaded double lip. The inside and outside diameters of both seals are virtually the same, but hub seal bore depth and offset differences makes it inadvisable to replace early, narrow QU50654 seal with QU50091 late seal except on 1971 models with disc brakes.
It is always good preventative maintenance to replace the all wheel bearings and seals when restoring or maintaining your vintage 4x4. The parts availability for decades old 4x4s declines on a daily basis. Wrecking a wheel hub and/or spindle when the old bearing you reused fails can either cost you a mint or put your broken-down truck on blocks forever. We stock Kits with high quality Timken® Wheel Bearings and North American made Wheel Seals to keep your veteran Chevy or GMC rolling, plus, you can order your Kit with or without install tools.
