Timken wheel bearings

Well, after some effort I couldn't determine with certainty what my 8-lug axles came off of and I need ball joints on the front, so I went ahead and picked up original front and rear axles for my 72 K5. I'm going through the front axle, front diff and shafts seemed okay, but I want to replace the wheel bearings, calipers, rotors, etc. while I have it torn apart. I'm dead set on some Timkens made in the USA - I looked at National from Autozone but they were made in China, so no go. I'm having trouble finding a set from the typical retailers.

I didn't find anything on this in the forum here. I did find an entire front axles set (Torque King, quad4x4.com) out of Montana for about $100. I also found Timken Set 45 and Set 37 on RockAuto but they're cheaper than all the cheap bearings that may or may not work.

I know I'm not the only guy who's put wheel bearings on their rig and I know everyone wants Tinkens, so I'm hoping someone can provide a part number and source.

Thanks.

Rob
