Driveshaft Support Bearing Size?[120-130/64] posted by Jack on

I need to replace my Driveshaft Support Bearing on my 1964 122S 2-door. My driveshaft measures approximately 1.80" (using electronic calipers). I understand that these shafts came in 1 3/4 " and 2" sizes. Therefore, I conclude that mine must be 1 3/4" + dirt & corrosion. Now, I ordered a bearing for my 1 3/4" shaft and I was sent a bearing with a 1 3/8" I.D. Will this fit?????
I have heard two "theories":
1. It will not fit. It is too small.
2. It will fit. The shaft steps down to 1 3/8" under the bearing.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH IS CORRECT? IF # 1 IS CORRECT, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET A 1 3/4" I.D. BEARING?
I would like to have the right part on hand when I disassemble this thing!
Thanks very much!
Jack

A bearing house can decode that stuff.

There are two different bearings, both 1 3/8" I.D.
Yours should have a wider inner race (because they
went to the narrow one in 1967), probably about 1"
wide inside and about 3/4" wide outside.
Any good bearing supply house should be able to fix
you up.
