steering column

What do you guys do with the bearing in the top of the steering column? I just got done rebuilding my box, cleaned the tube(column) and there was a lot of crud in the top bearing. Stuck it in the parts cleaner and got everthing out of it and it rolls smooth now, but my question is, does it need to be lubed (greased) and does it come or do you do it where it is?
Don't think it matters but, it's a 53 F250.

It's been a couple of years since I did mine but it seems like I used white grease,maybe Lubriplate, on the top bearing.

O.K. I got it greased and back on the box. Kind of hard to get at it where the bearing sits. Thanks Bob. Now I can get back to blasting the cab.
