Jacques: I think you may be correct in your early 3/4" bore versus later 1" bore. The dilemma is finding an existing early truck to inspect or finding a listing for an "early" nut.
Terry: you show the listing from the 1940-42 Ford parts book. The earlier 1940-41 (March 1941) version has similar information and does not refer to a nut for the "early" steering wheel. Even the massive Ford Major Assembly catalogue, which shows all of the steering gear and charts some of the individual small components, does not have any information to help us. Is it possible that the early steering wheel did not use a "nut" or it was described by another term that we are overlooking in the parts books?
