I’m hoping somebody can point me to a part number for rear wheel bearings for my 66. It has 7.25 rear end. Thanks in advance.

All 7 1/4 were the same. If you search for your car on rock auto the wheel bearings can be gotten from most national suppliers. RWF34R for National and SKF. 24-28 bucks each.

Nope, there were 3 different ones depending on year. The '60-2 7 1/4's use one, the '63-72 and '73-6 with 9" brakes use another, and the '73-6 with 10" brakes (along with B and E bodies) use a third. Each use their own seal too.
A little more history about the 63-76, 7 1/4 with 9 inch brakes. Chrysler superseded the original #2421349 to 3420090 in 1970. Many people don't know why a number is changed. The most common reasons are a new vendor, an improved design or the new number comes in a package with additional parts. An example of the latter can be seen here.

The superseded number now comes with the seal and gaskets along with the bearing and collar. Of course today you have to take whatever is available.

And usually its most convenient to replace wheel seals while replacing bearings. They cost 10-15 depending on brand and it’s really inconvenient if you have to replace a part just after having been in an axle.
You also need a housing gasket RDS12775 from felpro.
Also fresh gear oil

I’m not one to throw around red “X” flippantly. So I won’t do it. But I do check my responses carefully before I post. RWF34R is listed as the aftermarket bearing for 7 1/4 A body. Above seals same vehicle.
Instead of wasting the OPs time with info on cars he wasn’t asking about I tried to answer the specifics of his question.
