Does anyone have any info on converting ball bearings to tapered bearings on front wheel bearings for a 55 Chieftain?
Someone in the Yahoo groups mentioned that this swap was possible with off the shelf bearings but didnt provide any #'s.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Have you tried going to reputable parts store and just ordering them by application.(car year,make & model)
Most all ball bearings will be serviced with a tapered roller. I have used the tapered rollers the replace my ball bearings as long as I used both bearing and races in my 8-Lug drums. You can usually get a seal to replace the old felt design.
