Driveshaft Carrier Bearing - What Brand?

Need to replace the center carrier bearing on my driveshaft but it looks like it's not available from Toyota.
Does anyone know where I can get an OEM or have any recommendations for a good bearing that will last a while?

1990 Pickup 4x4 3.0 Ext Cab 5Spd manual

I just replaced mine last summer. I was able to get the new, OEM, one from the local dealership, no trouble. I figured that if the original lasted 325,000 miles, the new one should last at least that long too

Just make sure that the little notch in the mounting plate is oriented correctly. It should be pointed towords the rear of the truck.

Note: Rear of vehicle is to the bottom of the picture.

Good luck!

Anyone have info on the next best thing?

So looks like the 1990 Pickup 4x4 3.0 Ext Cab 5Spd manual takes the following toyota part#
37230-35090 (Discontinued)

Can anyone verify the following will interchange?
37230-35070
37230-35030

As I recall when I got the bearing for my '85 from Toyota I was told it was the last one available in the US. The driveline guy seemed to think going to a one piece driveline was the way to go; I didn't want to do that, but it is another option.
