   I was thinking wheel bearings might be a cheap option.  I have actually   
   replaced (and saved for a while) three spindle hub assemblies off the   
   front of the Silverado 2500HD over the years I owned it.  Like a lot of   
   junk I thought I might use it someday, and then I threw it away.  LOL.   
   Pitched the last one after I sold the truck last year.

   Your suggested loading may be within the capacity of small inexpensive   
   trailer wheel bearings. The tradeoff is cost vs effort to adapt them. I try   
   to keep long shafts within the 1-3/8" spindle bore size of my lathe, and   
   preferably the max 1" 5C thru-hole collet.
