Default wheel bearings and seals

well, a while back i got all retarted and swamped my M35. on the ride home that morning i deffinatley killed one set of rear wheel bearings. this was back in early february. the truck has been sitting since then and i recently decided to fix it up and make it road worthy again. i planned on just taking all the wheel bearings out and greasing any that were salvageable and replacing atleast one set in the rear. well i pulled the front apart and water poured out and the bearings were totally rusted. i wasnt that surprised but i said screw it, this truck is to big to be broken down on the side of the road. im replacing all of the bearings, races and seals. the parts store wanted approximatley $36 for each bearing and $16 for each race. i found a supplier who sells the bearings for $27 and the races for $12.

my problem now is the seals. i know i can get them from a surplus dealer, but the guy at my local napa tells me that with an NSN number he can get me the seals from rockwell. he appearently gets parts for the guys on FT Dix and McGuire A.F.B. from time to time and has done this before. if he can get them then i should be able to find them with out going through him and paying the middle man.

does anyone know where to get aftermarket seals for the 2.5 ton axles?
also does anyone knoe the NSN for the outer rear axle seal? i have the number for the inner one.
