New Wheel Bearing Wouldn't Fit - Options?

One of my rear wheel bearing has been loud for a while now and I went to replace it. The only option I could fine was on eEuro, for a Scantech part for $150. Well, it doesn't fit on the spindle. It's just a crappy part machined with too small a bore. Now I feel stuck - for my '87 (non ABS) there just doesn't seem to be availability for the the OEM SKF bearing. The only thing I could find is on Rock Auto (which doesn't specify manufacturer) where they have an $80 option and a $290 option (which seems a little pricey to experiment with).
The grease was totally dry on the old bearing and the inner balls looks a bit burning, but I think it will be good for a few more thousand miles - but obivously I need to get this fixed.
Any thought on where I could get a good OEM bearing?
Thanks,
Craig
