Welcome Dave your name sounds familiar. Were you on the AMX Files. I am a Viet Nam era Navy veteran did my 4 years from 65-69. I worked on the flight deck as a plane captain on E-2A Hawkeye early warning planes. The Navy's sea going version of the Airforce AWAC. You will like it here great people. The bearings you need for the Eagle rear should be available at your local auto parts store.
I put all new bearings in a 78 Concord rear before I put it in my 74 Hornet 2 years ago. Were you in the area in NC that got blasted by the hurricane last year? I have a friend who is just south of VA beach in NC that had no power for a week.
