Source for C2/C3 Differential Bearings

[Wayne M.]

Rebuilding my '65 Eaton posi diff -- The local Goodwrench advises that the numbers (circa 1970) that I provided are dead (w/no upward revision). Parts involved are: case side bearings, Gr 5.536, #7451140; crush sleeve Gr 5.453, #3817864; pinion rear bearing Gr 5484, #7451155; and front pinion bearing Gr 5.447, #7450984. Cannot believe the General no longer stocks these, given the number of years of production. What do you guys use ?

They did show that the seals and side yoke bearings (the Torrington's) were still available.

Someone on eBay has been selling complete diff rebuild sets w/Timken bearings for around $ 60+. Any comments ?

Wayne,
I used Southern Gear from Smyrna,GA. (800) 289-7432. I did my homework and these guy are awesome. My major tranny kit was about$70 and the dif. was $80. All quality name bearings. I asked for a guy named Mike, because that's whom we use for Scott Drake Mustang also. Good luck with your search!

I've had good luck with Randy's Ring & Pinion @ www.ringpinion.com.

They have everything including shims and other small pieces.
