   I grabbed a couple RAM 3500 front 4x4 wheel bearing/hub assemblies   
   being tossed by a friend. Thought one would make a great base to mount   
   to the floor for spinning something on top of it. They already have   
   bolts or threaded holes on both sides and a bearing. They didn't run   
   right on the road but for something like this you wouldn't notice.   
      
   A smaller version is this Impala front wheel hub/bearing   
   assembly:

   It seems a toss-up whether large bearings or shafts to mount them on are   
   easier/harder to find as surplus. I tend toward galvanized pipe and tubing   
   for their availability, perhaps more than their suitability. Adapter   
   bushings are within my 10" lathe's capacity. The scrapyards and small shops   
   I once used as metal sources have gone away, and the small sizes of most of   
   my projects rarely justify buying full mill lengths of stock.
