Column Drop Question

1 Attachment(s)

I believe this is from a 32-48 Ford truck possibly a big truck. Measurement from top of mounting boss to center of hole is 5". Appreciate any info.

Re: Column Drop Question

Maybe it is but it doesn't look like any Ford column drop that I have ever seen.

Looks like a later (46-48) big truck drop that has been polished and plated. The on/off tag is missing as well. I'm not sure,.....but I think the lock cylinder may been replaced too.

It looks just like the one in my roadster which is '35-'36-maybe '37 Ford big truck, except mine was shortened to 4", and is painted.

Re: Column Drop Question

Thanks guys for your input. 32phil is correct about the lock cylinder. He's also correct about the polishing but not the plating. It's poor man's chrome: highly polished cast iron.
