Top steering column bearing
I need to replace to the top bearing on my steering column. I went to couple of parts houses and they can't find a part number. I recall a post not to long ago about this same issue. But I can't remember what it was called. Does anybody have a idea the part number for this bearing?
Thanks Seafire

In this case it didn't matter, because the bearing/retainer fits 'em all thru 1972, some 1973/79's.

Any degree of difficulty in changing these bearings? I hear a clunk from my 1972 F250 4X4 non/PS column when I make hard turns and suspect it may be the upper bearing by the sound of it but I have never looked inside to see what the bearing looks like or where it sits. Thanks!

The other is at the bottom of the column, so it has to be removed.
