1979 Ford parts

I have a 1979 Ford F150 4x4 that the u-joint on the lower steering shaft is worn out and needs replaced. I need to know where iI can find a new one. Have looked on most of the ford websites and I know somewhere has to sell the part that I need.

Haha that's so funny. have you ever heard the song Duct Tape and Bailing Wire by Charley Jenkins? The chorus goes I'm a country boy serviver, a modern day MacGyver / There ain't nothing I can't fix / Got a problem I'll solve it using backwoods logic / and the tools that I was raised with / she should appriciate me, but I'm thinking maybe she just don't admire my skills with duct tape and bailing wire. Oh my god I can't beleive you did what you did for a living M and don't know what a steering shaft is. And I call you fam....haha just kidding. Do you know what an oil filter is?ok I will leave you alone. But anyways summit racing wrote me back and they do have it. So thanks for the support.

Napa auto parts stores carry this part, they may have to order it for you, but hubby assures me they can get it.
