King pin bearings (HELP!)

I have a 66 F-100 4X4 and the center section of the front differential is stamped "44", so im assuming that its the factory dana 44 front axle. the steering knuckles have square caps top and bottom with 4 bolts and after removal there are "bearings" top and bottom. problem is that I need to replace these bearings and cant find any parts store that has any idea what im asking for. The other thing is that it looks like the ends of the axle shafts have been welded on (not factory) so im not sure if the ends containing the bearings are actually part of the original differential. Is this type of king pin steering knuckle typical for this truck? and does anyone know where I can find these bearings or maybe have a part# ???

Thanks....Eric

eric you are in luck my friend as a matter of fact i just changed those exact bearings two days ago. there is a bearing and a race, you will need both. here are the part numbers.

federal mogul:#11590, and #11520. also you will be needing to get the bearing cap which is part #204005

also those are the same part numbers that timkin has. your choice of which brand
