Glad you paid attention! I went thru this same thing with a '59 Rambler flathead 6. They sent .001. Said, "well, we're out of standard, these will usually work on a worn crank." No sir, they won't.
Ebay is a great source for NOS, that's a good find. Old Federal Mogul bearings are the best. In the above debacle, I eventually found NOS original AMC factory bearings for that engine on ebay. The boxes were falling apart with age, the bearings- perfect.
