It may have been Timken but not 100% sure.

I am in the process of doing my 67 GTA. Same open 9" rear. All of the  bearings in my unit were Bower. They were bought out by NTN bearings. They are still available.  I just purchased a master rebuild kit with all new pinion, carrier bearings, seals & shims. I also purchased a complete traction loc master rebuild kit. (I am converting over from an open rear) Also got a new ring & pinion. Moving up to a 3.25 ratio. In speaking with the sales person I was assured that all bearings are Timken"s and all the clutches and seals are American made. The balance of the traction loc parts come from Canada. I should see them early next week. If you want I will let you know how they look.
