I do not want to use the word impossible, but I do find it hard to believe that Ford Motor Company used Hyatt ball bearings. The Hyatt bearing company was for many years owned by General Motors Corp and I feel it doubtful if Ford would buy bearings from General Motors. We do know Ford used Timken bearings for some applications such as wheel bearings and I feel that further digging into transmission bearings might reveal the original transmission bearings to have another source.

A man now deceased for quite a few years was my friend after he retired as general manager of the Hyatt bearing plant and moved to Cape Cod from New Jersey. At age 58 years he had taken early retirement from management of Hyatt for General Motors, due too management stress that caused a major heart attack, followed by retirement from General Motors and moving to Cape Cod. He had been a Model T hobbyist for years, but on Cape Cod his hobby was his Model A Coupe, certainly unusual for a staunch GMC person.
