Q regarding wheel bearing and headliner -'87 - 5KCSTQ

[Livolsi, Stephane]

A few years ago I needed a rear wheel bearing for my 86 5kcstq.  Shopped
around (didn't even check dealer) and found the best price by far (about 50%
of FLAPS) was the local bearing place - I think it was Kaman Bearing.  They
have all sorts of books that they can look up applications and cross
reference by dimensions.  Good quality brands too - SKF, etc
