Home away from home

To check for a drum and bearings, contact the following. In no particular order:

-Max Merritt
-Gerry at Packards Southwest
-Mike at Tucson Packard
-Jeff at Moose Motors (707) 792-9985, packardguy54@sbcglobal.net
-Maybe Kanter
-Maybe Seattle Packards

Jeff and Gerry will almost certainly have what you need.

Did you check the parts cross reference?

You can also just pull the bearings off and look up the numbers.

Quite a regular

I've been looking but haven't seen anything yet.

Depending on what all you need, and how much space you have, you might want to consider picking up a parts car. I ended up buying one, just because it came with a good used windshield, but I have salvaged all sorts of bits and pieces off of it. It has saved me far more than the $500 it cost me.

I'll have a look and see if the bearings are still in the remaining drum.
