orchard supply, has bearings that fit in the column and go around the shaft, check the wheel barrel department or the specialty fitting draw area. very inexpensive way to do this.

C and G Parts carries the bearing and sleeve. It's the same as the original Ford unit. I use them and they work well and not too expensive. I think Sacramento Vintage Ford also has them.

Here are some pictures of the Dan Brusegard upper steering column bearing assembly. This is probably the best one made for this application that I am aware of.
I will also attach some pictures of the wheelbarrow wheel bearing that I picked up at our local Tractor Supply Store for ~$3.29. This also works well, although there was one guy on a previous post here who apparently had a problem fitting this one in his '39/'40 Ford coupe steering column. This can be read about here: http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61577
In the last three pictures I show o-rings added to the WB bearing to help the stability of this bearing when mounted inside the top of the column tube.
