Hi Phil and Dirk.
Thanks for the info. I know of a couple old grain trucks in the area that still have the steering boxes on them, I hope. Being left hand drive, some parts may interchange. I have an old Ford civilian parts catalogue that shows the numbers your page shows, but without the 'F'. Hopefulley, the roller on the sector shaft is the same. There are some cmps around, but never got away to look at them before the snow came. Will have to wait till spring.
Cleaned out the steering column and found these(photo). They are about 1 inch long. Not sure if they would have been with the truck originally. No name on them.
Thanks again.
Hi Phil..
They are neet and rare..
Those are the feeler guages for the spark plug and breaker points gap settings..
Nice find..
