Default 32 ford steering column lock/switch

Who restores these units to original condition?

I notice posts referring to incorrect key locks that extend out from the housing. What does the corrrect one look like?

Thanks
Jack

Try Baxter's Ford Parts (785) 842-9256. No personal experience with him but I think he does this (or subcontracts it out).

What is the code on the cylinder for 32? Is the code FK _ _ _ or FB _ _ _ ?

Thanks
Jack

Most 32's I have seen are FBXXX, I can cut the keys by code if you know the number. Phil, 845 457 3546

I found on my 1941 that the key number is also on the key cylinder for the door locks
and may be easier to read

Several yrs ago I purchased a 32 along with extra parts...included is what appears to be a NOS lock/switch with two hurd keys and the metal tag. Both the tag and lock have the code FKxxx. Maybe someone can id this as 32 or what ever year.....unfortunately I don't have the 32 now...

FK is for correct for 35 and the replacements for 32-24.Trautwein in NY also restores the column drops.Look in the V8 roster for the contact info.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have been told that the steering column lock/drop on my 34 pickup is the same as a 32 car. Does anyone know if that is correct for sure?
