I used clevite bearings as stated above with perfect circle rings when I rebuilt my 83 2wd. I bought all my rebuild stuff from napa. Besides the bearings rings and gaskets everything I purchased from them (water pump, oil pump, timing chain, etc.) was made in Japan and looked to be factory reboxed items because we could not tell a difference between a few of the parts we had from the dealership. Still going strong after 30k+ (rebuild happened at 235k miles). I used the same parts when I rebuilt my 80 4wd over the summer and it is still working great as well.
