Shiney, and New...doubt the MoCo Has em.... Not all that expensive either. Cheaper than an O.E. Quality Rebuild.
Buy one ...check Rim true, check bearing preload (spacer) then run it...Oh, And tell us what you found!!!

Used them, a lot years ago but keep in mind like everybody else they change suppliers regular. Repack the bearings, don't risk it being right. I toss the snap ring and dust cover and put the larger face spacers for the later models in. Got one hanging on my peg board right now.
