    wheel bearings and seals

    Mudlord, I bought my rear seals from John @ TNJ Murray. One quick call and they were at my doorstep in 3 days. He also sent a valve cover gasket to cut the cork piece from. For better or worse, I'm a purist with my vehicles. I also know that the parts fit. Why don't you want to use a surplus...
