Question Tilt steering U-Joint???

I am looking for the very small u-joint for a tilt steering column on my 78 F-250. I have tried NAPA, Ford Dealer, and all kinds of different web sites. I keep comming up with the same thing, it is no longer produced or it is discontinued. Does anyone know where I can get this item???

Maybe it would be a good idea to get an entire steering column from the junkyard that matches your truck?

The bad thing about that is my closest yard was just closed down.

NEVERMIND!!! I took the column apart and found that it is a joint of somesort but the reason for the play was not the joint. It was a stripped bolt that went through the joint, I replaced that, and it is good as new!!!
