Doesn't there exist a Small Bearing, Large Bearing and Torino Bearing? With the Torino Bearing being a modern version of the large bearing?

Three? I'm only aware in the 72-73 and the late '73 and up big bearing.
Other note: buy a harbor freight transmission Jack. Makes doing a swap a safe proposition over using a floor Jack...

No just the chunk. About killed myself when I was lifting my spare carrier and it rolled on me but I caught it in time. I was being lazy and left my 3.50 chunk on my Trans jack.

As far as the bearing I'm only thinking of the common reference of Torino small or torino big bearing.
I'm assuming the other is for maybe truck 9"?

 8" and midsize car 9" got the small bearing until about 73-74, fullsize cars and trucks got the big bearing, around 74, they went to the "Torino" bearing (new big bearing)

Anyone have the timken wheel bearing part numbers for the 72-73 and 74-76 housings?
I want to replace my oem ford big bearing on my 76 housing.
For the time being I need to replace my small bearing 9" wheel bearing but tiring to make sure the lock ring is correct.
Fyi wheel bearing on 72-73 local parts stores are shown as obsolete not in the system.
Talk about bs

Note: don't try to think you are a smart person by hammering on two of the small lock rings in place of the original one.
interference issues.
Had new wheel bearings, and ended up having my original lock ring reused. Machine shop said no concerns, she's locked in place now.
