Here is a 1933-34 Ford pickup steering column drop. It is tapered because the dash board is not straight above the steering column as it is in passenger cars. This one sold for $256 in 2016.

Re: Jack Stewart's 1932 Ford Accessory Boards
That second picture shows Jack's display at the LA Roadster Show when it was held at the Great Western Exhibit Center. I bought a hard-to-find 1934 Ford pickup splash apron from Jack in 1972 for $15.
