1960 8 lugs on 1955 Chieftain Wheel bearings question
Hello, I have a set of 1960 8 lugs, and was thinking about trying to install them on my 1955 Chieftain wagon.
The rears I believe will bolt right on, I am trying to figure out the front wheel bearing situation. My understanding is the 8 lugs used roller bearings until 62 than tapered bearings. Does anyone know if the 55 front wheel bearings and 60 wheel bearings are the same? Thanks |

There's a 1960 master parts catalog on the pontiacsafari.com website. It looks like the wheel bearings changed in 1958, but I don't know what the difference would be. http://www.pontiacsafari.com/MPC/Pag...49_Group06.pdf (scroll down to group 6.311.)
There's also an article over there on how to convert a 1955 car to a ball joint suspension, by mixing and matching parts from newer Pontiacs that may help: http://www.pontiacsafari.com/L1Garag...Conversion.pdf |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
