    #1 I think Ford pickup, #2 '37-9 Ford. Neither wheel matches the '37-9.

    Both Bok's appear to be Ford, '36~9 & the broke one could be F~1 truck... hard to tell from a pic.

    Wheel 1 is a '55~'56 Chevy truck wheel..

    Wheel 2 is just plane Trash..

    The first steering wheel is Mid 50's Chevy Truck. I Believe 1954. The rest of the parts I don't know.

    The second steering wheel looks an aweful lot like 52-53 Ford car. Is the plastic around the center busted off, or was it made without that part? Because 52-3 Ford had some plastic around the center hub. If it's broken off, that wheel is basically junk.

    Yes, box with broken ear is F-1. With that broken ear it's a perfect candidate for a Tardel-style installation (new flange) into an early Ford frame.

    The box is '37-9 because it has perch for the steering wheel type light switch. Gears same '37-48 and also adapted for later pickups, shafts come in numerous minor variations of length.
