Hi!
I would need some help to get my new F100-56 street legal over here.
I need to rebuild the Steering Column and need the plastic Shift Indicator and the "pointer" for the Fordomatic. I also need a Neutral Safety Switch.
I dont know the position for the switch and dont find it in the Wiring diagram. My qustions are. Where are the switch located? On the column or on the transmission? Do you know where to find the shift indicator/pointer?
Looks like it's out of sale in most dealers. Appreciate some help and hope you understand most of my English.

the automatic transmission was a rare option in 56. You might try contacting Mid Fifty Home - Mid Fifty F-100 Parts they have a lot of used parts as well as new and might have what you need. There is also a member here who goes by bigwin56F100 that has a large collection of used 56 parts.
Your English is FAR better than my Swedish!

 

Thanks!! I think they used the same Shift Indicator a couple of years but I cant find any repro out there anymore. I will try to find a used one.
Appreciate any suggestions. Anyone know where the Neutral Saftey Switch
was located on the truck and where I can find one?
Mats

Bill is always a great help for parts........... can't thank him enough.

I've used Green Sales and NOS PARTS LTD, both were nice and had great parts.

 

I now bought 3 hard to find parts from 2 different dealers thanks to Bill.
I am very grateful to you all on this forum. To be totally honest it would be extremely difficult for me to have this great hobby "over here" without your
support. No Shop Manual in the World can answer all my question. As soon as I have the new parts I am going to restore the Steering Column with the new Shift Indicator/Pointer and Neutral Safety Switch to get it street legal. Thanks a lot!!
