Tom Devoe Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Slowjim - will you share the part numbers / manufacturer of the bearings and seals if you bought modern equivalents? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowjim Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 I just found out yesterday that I may not have the correct ones. The numbers were from Studebaker International. Races = 165167 Bearings = 165168 The shop working on the car received them yesterday and said that they did not fit. However, the parts guide shows two different rear ends were used in that year. I should find out more by tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowjim Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 We are still working with Studebaker Int'l to see if they have the wrong numbers, or if my car has the wrong axle shafts. I will update when we figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 When are you coming to Joliet to look at the two rear axles I have and I may have some shocks and brake drums. Most of these parts came from Model 61 and 62 cars and I don't know if they will fit your Model 70.

(S) Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Those numbers are an early number and translate all the way up to late models. early Dana and 23 27 1939- 50 and Dana 44 -1951-64. I stock them. SI may have just sent the wrong sets? Timken part number 14276 race , 14138 for the bearing I have other numbers for the same because of all of the years of usage. I looked in the books and do not see a type A or Type B axle for model 70. Something tells me you may need to ID the whole differential , because it could have been changed. RBK- model 61 and 62 are a different timken number race 2720 and cone- 2796/2787 for the model61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowjim Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Thanks to RBK and to Stude for the information. We also wondered if the entire assembly might be out of a different car. We were able to source the bearings that came out of our unit and will probably go with that installation. I'll know more next week. RBK... I will send you a private message. I would like to see your facility. You had some other parts listed on your web-site that I am interested in. I am checking when I can com up to visit.
