F1 steering box and column

Hello, i'm living in france and old' ford parts are very hard to find on this side of the sea . So i bought f1 steering box and column on ebay.
Now i'd like to know what kind of steering wheel and pitman arm can i use with ? i'd like to use 11/16" tie rod end for my draglink.

i need your help, thanks

 

I can't verify this for sure but I was recently told that the early Volkswagon Vanagon pitman arms fit the early Ford truck boxes..

Bonjour Poisson-chat!
I believe late 40's car pitman arms will fit but I stand to be corrected!?!?
Don't know what the limits are for wheel selection.
Back to the first page for ya anyway mon ami!
Someone here will know your answers.

Ok...Haha...Paul beat me to it!

 

To my knowlege, a '32 will fit perfectly. Anything "32 is hard to come by and expensive so I'm using a '35-36 pitman arm on my F1 box. The only problem was the orientation was off about 45 deg. I had to use a rat tail file to modify the flat spots on the splines to get the arm clocked correctly. Works fine now. Not sure about other years.

I don't know what my pitman arm came off. I believe the F1 unit has a ball attached to it that would need to be removed to accept a tie rod style end.

 

If your steering box is the larger '53-'56 box, the '59-'60 (and possible the '57-'58) Ford pickup pitman arem is a direct bolt-on and accepts the early ford tierod end.
