Welcome. Thats a good looking truck for being in the rust belt.
That bearing coversion is going to be at least $125.

I got my set for my 52 GMC Suburban ( http://community.webshots.com/user/bigsix302 ) from this guy (Patrick Doonan
103 Hickory St.
Maylene, AL 35114)
I paid 107 and change a couple years ago. He puts them out on eBay from time to time. Here is his seller name (gmpartsplace). Here is his web site ( http://doonan.home.mindspring.com ) and here is his e-mail address (ddautoparts@mindspring.com ). They fit great in my truck and really make me feel better about driving around!! Best of luck to ya !! Rick

NAPA shows tapered bearings. The prices might be better if you can get a buddy deal at your local store.
This is for a 52 C 3100 http://www.napaonline.com/MasterPage...+-+Front+Wheel
The set adds up to 133.45 So the vendor listed above doesn't look that bad on price.

You should be able to use the numbers for the tapered bearing sets and cross them at different parts houses.

Note, they show the tapered and roller bearings.
