I have a large truck type steering box in my shop,
It has the part number CRTOAF-3550-A.a three bolt flange to mount it to the chassis.and the sector shaft has only half the spine on it ,not around the whole shaft.
I need some parts for it.
Would any one know the vehicle it comes of from the part number ,
thanks Lawrie

Just to let you know, I found out the steering box is from an F500

The C indicates the decade of the 60s. RT is a truck designation and 0 is the design year 1960. This steering box may have been used on more than just the F500. It could have been used on other trucks of different weight ratings as well. The 1960 was the last year of the 58/60 type cab. In 61 the cabs changed to the newer design but I don't know how much the chassis changed. 292 engines were still used up to 1964 or so. I don't have books on these so I can't confirm the parts.
