Default Column Drop Question

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.

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.

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.
