Oops Ross, not so. The 3HD was column shift beginning in 1953 on F-250s, and I’ll assume F-350s. Stu

Re: When did ford truck start column shift.
I Have a 41 basket case with a column shift that I assumed was wrong, but Ken said they had some in 41. Any info on how or why this happen on the 41 only. Not sure to swap it out now.

I thought those were kind of out of the focus of this discussion, but you are correct.

The column is the same as a car , the column drop and floor cover is unique to the pickup |

Re: When did ford truck start column shift.
In 1955 I had a '41 sedan delivery that had a column shift, however, the sedan delivery trucks were basically the same a a '40 car.
My father bought a new '52 F1 V8 that had three on the tree and an OD... I loved that truck. I have always wanted one like it, never have ran across one with all the accessories like dad's truck.

Re: When did ford truck start column shift.
Not that I'm aware of, the bottom edge of the firewall is cut out and the plate around the pedals has a step in it to clear the shifter arms
