Ware to find 78-79 bottom bearing in steering column

Ware the hell do you find the bottom bearing in the steering column of a 78-79 f250 manual. It's not the bigger bearing in the auto column, it's the smaller white plastic one ... Napa doesn't have it and lmc isn't specific enough to tell me what I need so please help

JBG has a kit to put a real bearing the bottom of the column. Even when new, the plastic bushing has a lot of slop in it.

2WD or 4WD?
2WD uses a different bearing than 4WD, both types are available from Ford!

Is your truck two wheel drive or four wheel drive? That's the difference.
