Steering box bearings & race.

Anyone have problems with  steering play?  My 51 Plymouth has new, correct bearings & race. If you are brave enough to get your  steering box out of the car, you need the correct bearings. I found Rxxx Auto to have the parts, but the bearings were not fitting , the seals were ok. So i looked up in my Chilton parts manual, got the correct bearing numbers, searched eBay, found the correct bearings & race. The box takes two bearings (upper - lower) - both are the same number  ->  669077. (you will need 2) The bottom race # TIMKIN 6CE,  will be worn as it takes the full load weight of the shaft & steering wheel.   The top race is integral with the shaft.  Rock Auto has the correct seals, not correct bearing. This cross references with Ford tractor 1939 to 1964. Ford # 683571-A2 for the bearing, not for the race.
