I have been asked to make a small table that would be used next to a chair such as a recliner and has a lamp made into the table. The lamp should be on a pole at the back of the table, mounted through the table top and the shade for the light would actually hang over the center of the table top some distance above the table top. The only picture I have that shows the lamp at all only shows how it is mounted to the table so I know it is not much to go on. What I would like to ask is does anyone know of a source for that kind of lamp kit or parts to make one with? I have searched quite a bit and haven’t come up with anything useful.

http://www.lampparts.com is but one of many. Do a google search for more options.
I forgot to mention that I did already Google search every which way I could think of, but looks like the above link may be the best place to start looking. Maybe someone has a spot that they like best for this kind of thing that doesn't come up real quickly on searches? Thanks!!
I typically find everthing on the first page of a google search. The key is to use the proper terms to trigger the answers you want.
Did this just using lamp parts as the search text...

This source probably won't work for you, but if you or anyone else gets into making lamps on a regular basis, American-De Rosa Lamparts is the major, major supplier. When we repaired and sold floor lamps on a regular basis, we used them for our parts and supplies. They are wholesale only to qualified retail or manufacturing businesses:

Their "big book" is about the size of the owner's manual for a 747.
