Reply to "Help with bearings"

I first want to thank everyone for their interest and information, it has been very helpful and given me some direction for more research.
To let everyone know what I have discovered is that the Goose did orginally take the sealed roller bearing but prior to my ownership someone with the idea of upgrading the strength of the rear axles and bearing system deceided to install timpken style tapered roller bearings, which I guess would have been a good idea if done properly. I understand that some have also done this on the Panteras but a much better installation and seal system.
I've deceided to remove these bearings and races and go to the upgraded sealed roller bearings. I'm not racing or anything like that so I feel this to be my most reasonable choice at this time.
Thanks again for all the info. I'm sure I will need more help in the future.
Rich M.
