You can buy the bracket and bearing as one piece. Most likely it's this one http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...1418&ppt=C0362 If the bolts that hold it in place are one in front of the other.

If they are spread out side by side it probably would be this one http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...1418&ppt=C0362 Those are usually on the heavier duty trucks though.

Or you can spend a stack of money and go real fancy http://www.iedls.com/Center-Support-...kup-Trucks.asp

I usually slip them on the shaft and then use a piece of pipe just large enough to slide over the shaft and catch the inner race only and drive the bearing up to where it stops. There should be a deflector flange on the shaft unless it has been knocked off at some time. Make sure that it isn't bent so that it rubs the bearing.
