1960 steering column question

I have a 1960 non-tilt steering column that needs the lower mast bearing replaced. I have been looking all over but can't find part with correct fitment. Seems most applications are '63 up.
Is GM # 7802845 or GM # 5694100 correct? It looks like these, is pressed into a cup on bottom of column.

I assume this is power steering , right?
My parts book shows #5674067 for all 60-62 except F-85.
Hope this helps.

Says website is out of date, but still hoping for a reply.

I see that part number is the whole end of column. Do they break it down to the actual bearing number?

It was all one assembly, the bearing was not available separately.

Just not having any luck. I did tap bearing out of the cup but it has no part number on it. Appears same style as Chevrolet used, but no one can say. Saginaw was sold 3 times since they made these.....
Link is too old for the part CJ found...... eBay is $150/$180, way out of bounds for me in price. Maybe buy whole column in junkyard?

I had a column out of a 60 Pontiac I will check to see if I still have it.

Also have the power seat out of it.
