hello folks i need someboddy to identify this steeringwheel column and box it comes from a cleared yard full usa cars in belgium i bought manny other parts from the yard owner to create a sort of salvageyard museum those yards are verry rare here in europe hope you all can help identify some parts
The steering box/column is '49 thru '54 Chevy.......but by the appearance of the wheel, I'd say '53 or '54. Ray
I dont know Ray....I'm pretty sure you'd find the shifter on top of the column, not off to the side, on a chevy. And you'd also find a Saginaw steering box, not that one. But I think you're right on the year.
nope- definitely not 49-54 chev, the mounting flange at the steering box is way different, i could be a truck column, but not p***enger car
As usual, you're correct on Chevy things-and they would have used Saginaw. That is definitely a Ross (note the pattern in the cover casting). Ross was used in "orphan" cars like K-F, Studebaker, Willys.
i'd love to come across a yard like that, most places around here have been picked clean of little pieces like that!
Jim, after reading your post and taking a second look, I'd have to agree with you.....I was mistaken. The shifter "box" looks exactly like the one in '49/'54 Chevs........the swing of the pitman arm matches, but everything else is wrong.......oh well........another humbling experience Rau
