I bought these years ago, they are E-body pieces and I want to install them on my 69 B-Body for my disc brake conversion.

I am a little concerned with the rust on bearing surfaces.
Looks like surface only should I be worried or just clean them up and go? What is the best way to clean them?

Or should I just call em a loss and get new ones?

Pic didn't show so I'm not sure, see if it cleans up and see how well the bearings fit. Went thru this a few years ago, as long as there is no pitting you should be fine.

Those are fine, the bearings ride on races anyway.

the only critical point is the area where the inner wheel seal rides....

Thanks guys.

I will clean them up with Evapo Rust and see if they are pitted.

What are the specs for where the bearings/races ride on?

Thanks
