I believe Timken #204FRK and 204FGB may fit. They are 1.850" OD, .626 ID, .686" wide, double sealed, ball bearings. If the T85 snout is .590", that may be a tad loose though.

Alternatively, Dorman #691-032 oil-lite bushing for a Ford is .851" OD, .671" ID, and .505" wide. It would be easy eough to machine the ID to fit the T85 snout.

Did anyone mic the ID of a Parkard OEM pilot bearing? I am gonna guess it is around .595" to .600".

Thanks

UPDATE 1/29/14: I just noticed the Dorman is .671 instead of .571, so it is obviously not a contender. Dunno what I was thinking.
