      The original 53-62 front wheel bearings are BALL, NOT roller bearings.
      Yes, they can be replaced with an aftermarket roller bearing. They are ONLY available through aftermarket Vette sources---------------------------OR, from Allied Bearing in Calif -----------------------------FOR ABOUT HALF THE PRICE THAT THE VETTE AFTERMARKET SOURCES CHARGE!!
      These are a custom IMPORT roller bearing----------------THEY ARE NOT common to any other regular production automobile. The bearings you ask about only fit 53-62 Vettes and 49-54 passenger car.
