Does anyone out there know what year/application this column/box/wheel is from? Looks like F1 flange on the box. pitman arm is splined. Early 40's pickup, maybe? Thanks, Dave
My guesses, steering wheel is an A, the column drop is a 37, the box, column cover and pitman are are F-1.
looks to me to be early F1,column,box,wheel and drop prob from late 30's early 40's,the pitman arm is a recirculating ball like model a,and the steering drag link also looks late 30's maybe 37'-39' F1
Steering wheel is definitely not A. Technically there wasn't really an F-1 designation until 1948 I believe. But, I had been thinking 41 1/2 ton. It appears to all be a complete unit that is all from the same vehicle. does anyone know what would be different in a late 30's/early 40's big truck? There is a barely visible rectangle in the center of the horn button with the Ford script in it. Thanks for the responses so far.
It's not F-1......looks like early 40's big truck.I think the big trucks had the 4 spoke wheel. Also has no light switch on the wheel. your first guess was pretty close.....
I think it's a big truck from the 40s. I don't know what years but I do know that a 40 Ford truck reproduction horn button and spring fits it perfectly. I'd guess 40-47 but that's just a guess. I believe the 30s trucks still had horn and light rods. I think 40 was the first year for the conventional horn button. I liked it because it looks like a 4 spoke 40 wheel. I never found a use for it yet.
The exact same column AND wheel in my 1947 1.5 ton...... half tons had 2 or 3 spoke steering wheels....... (pending early or late 40's)
