It sounds like you have a 1998 Nash 26J. Based on what I have found this has a GVWR of 7,000 lbs which tells me you have 3,500 lb axles. Assuming that is the case, you will more than likely need Hub Bearing Kit for Lippert, Dexter, and Al-Ko Axles - 3,500 lb with #84 Spindle # BK2-100. This kit has the standard bearings and grease seal for a 3,500 lb axle.

The only way to truly be sure is to check your current bearings and grease seal. You can pull the hubs and either look for the part numbers stamped in the side of the bearings or measure your spindle where the bearings ride. If you are measuring I recommend using a digital caliper like the # PTW80157.

I have attached a helpful video along with a link to all of our bearings and seals for your reference.
