Anyone else find the tapered roller bearings for the wheels for a "reasonable" price?

What needle bearings are you looking for. King pins are bushings and the pivot bearing is a ball bearing.

You don't have to convert to taper wheel bearings. The ball bearing is rated correctly for your truck and the disc addition doesn't change that. As long as they are in good shape leave them.

We have been selling 3/4 and one tom kits for a while now.
