So should be a common part...

Most early Ford parts suppliers have the RHD worms. All other rebuild parts are the same as LHD, granted your sector shaft is rebuildable. And the comment above is correct, in that 37-48 Ford car RHD internals can be swapped into your RHD F1 box if needed.

Ok had a look in my stash and it does appear 37 40 type passenger and 48 52 F1 share the same replaceable components . Unless i am mistaken ,again. The top worm and sector are F1 and the lower one are passenger. Now to find a supplier of a RHD kit.

See links below for the RHD worm:

All other rebuild parts are the same as LHD.

Isnīt it like that the LHD car parts are the same as RHD pickup...
Same as that the early RHD parts is just another years LHD parts.
Depending on if the sectorshaft goes CW or CCW.
And thatīs the reason Macs and other vendors stock the RHD parts...itīs just another model LHD part...check the ford part numbers should give you a clue...

No, that is not the case here. 37-48 passenger car steering box internals are the same as 48-52 pickup internals when they are both either LHD or RHD.

LHD sectors have the roller canted to the right, RHD sectors have the roller canted to the left.
