Nope.  They were an OEM bearing.  The datsun trucks were the only thing they were ever made for.  The bearings for the disc hubs are the exact opposite.....they fit nearly every small truck out there.

 

You can still find the 620 bearing fairly easily, but the 521 bearing.......pretty rare to come across.  I used to say they're non-existent, but I just bought a new set off ebay the other day.  Got a heads up from thisismatt so I bought them.  I may rebuild a set of 521 hubs with them.  I maybe modify the hubs to use different lug studs.....something I've had banging around in my head for awhile.  Anyway....

You must get a lot of headaches with all that stuff banging around in your head. :lol:

So question is, do I need longer studs? I have 7 complete hand tight turns, so I'm assuming 8 or 9 full turns tight.

Suggestion is "Every stud must be long enough to thread a length at least equal to the stud diameter. Example: If using a 1/2" diameter stud, the lug must engage a min. of 1/2" of the stud length."

 

Happens to be a sticky in the General Technical section...

let me know if you need the part number for the longer studs. I went with ARP studs, but you can get normal ones.

 

Looking good.

Send it!

 

Is that Stop tech rotors.

ABT (Advanced brake Technologies) right down by you.

That's what I know but wanted to make sure.....I tend to be oversafe.
