Technical 1940 Special Deluxe

This bearing thing is making me crazy! I need inner and outer front . They are New Departure , bearing #909702 ,race #909602 . Seems my KA (IFS) is a rare one . Any info greatly appreciated . I tried the Filling Station in Oregon but the numbers don't seem to match up . Thanks , mike

 

Me too, I have no idea what you are talking about.
I didn't know Ford made a special Deluxe in '40. Especially with an IFS

 

This post makes no sense to me. Can you elaborate, or is this a joke?

 

You have to be able to speak Chevrolet. He needs front wheel bearings for a '40 Special Deluxe ...
Shouldn't be a problem, as they use the same bearing from 1929 thru 1954 on both car & 1/2 ton.

 

Exactly. And his reference to KA is short hand for knee action.

 

In hot rod world, all cars nominated by year are Fords.
Anything else, you have to specify.

 

Correct!

 

Thanks for the reply , one of the few without sarcasm . I'm 73 yo getting a late start at these old wrecks. Had the grandson help with new front bearings , may have used a 10' cheater on them and I had to cut em off then I scratched the spindles more than I can live with ,gonna try speedi sleeves with new bearings . Hurts to spend $100.00 on a bearing and another $30 for the seal. To all the narcissists that replied , Have a good day . Interpret this , DakTo 67-68

 

See my reply to 302 GMC, Thanks

 

To the few members that need their sarcasm to get them thru the day , try to be nice .

What are you fishing for, by bringing up Dak To??? Many of us, here, were in the middle of the shit also.

 

I just Googled, New Departure 909702 and found several places that have them, including a NOS bearing on E-Bay, am I missing something?

 

I think we may have donated some 5'' VT frag & Willy Peter to them ....

 

I preferred the beehive , FO. 3/12 inf.

Not fishing , dont need BS. , just saying .... got great replies from others

 

No , I think I'm missing something , been all over the web . I'll try again now . The one on Ebay is bearing only . ( I tink ) Thanks!!

 

....When you speak in short-hand and leave out important details you open the door for sarcasm.

Sorry, I can't help but wonder what your alleged military service has to do with wheel bearings for a 40 Chevy.

They are both experiences to be remembered . I said nothing about my service there . Was wondering if anyone would know what it meant . Evidently you were a second class sailor.

Wow is it getting weird in here?? You may want to reconsider if you're a fit here. Thick skin is required as well as some communication skills. FWIW a second class sailor is an E5. Oddly enough I was an E5 when I received my discharge in 71

 

When I hear “Did you see that nice ‘56?” my mind immediately goes to a Tri-Chevy never to a Ford.

 

Sorry , dont know PM , how to do this ?

 

Man....I've never seen a post go off the track so quickly, simmer down boys, get out of the house for a few minutes....
