Sitting in yank a part in Poulsbo WA, the shifter is missing but the column is tight.



This is only the second one I've ever seen. If you are doing a PS swap on a three speed truck, I can pull and ship the column.

 

Needless to say, Good Job posting your "Coca-Cola Double Take" Jared.

 

Holy power steering batman!!!!

 

I do like this junkyard, they have several 67-72 and 73-79 trucks. They are usually my first stop for stuff for my projects, and often my only stop.
I know you can get the auto column parts from Ford still, not sure about the three speed bits aside from the main bushings though. The primary difference between this column and a manual one is the shorter main shaft, otherwise the internals are the same as the manual steering one.
The last one I saw was one of my parts trucks, and that column was shot.

 

I just ordered bearings, shift tube, collar etc. for a column I have.
3 speed, Manual steering.

This may be exactly what I need for a P/S conversion.

 

Ford Six you live in Kidnap county? Nice to know someone else in this county likes old trucks!!

 

If you've seen a white and brown F250 with a diesel being flogged around town, that's me. Although I spend most of the month in TX working now, gotta love the lack of pay in this area.

 

I'm a yard tard so over paid and underworked.. sometimes. Worked at Westbay Auto Parts in Silverdale for 20+ years though.

 

have you found any with decent washer reservoirs??'

 

Three different types of washer reservoirs, three different types of washer motors.

1965/67 F100/350 uses a bag, 1968/70 F100/350 reservoir is plastic. 1971/72 reservoir is also plastic, but it's different than 1968/70.

 

Most of the trucks there have good reservoirs, but like he said there are a few variations.
Not sure on pricing, and I'm back out of here on Saturday morning as well.

 

I could use the pump & brackets for my '70 with a 300.
I got a later style setup from a van but it would be nice to have the correct stuff.

 

That truck had an FE in it, I don't think they had a 300 truck there now that I think about it. There were a couple 80s trucks, but no 60s or 70s ones.
I'm heading back to TX until Christmas on Saturday, so I'm out of parts pulling time. I was just really surprised to see a column shift PS truck there, I had only seen one before and have even had people tell me Ford never did that combination. Well, there's a factory FE three speed power steering truck right there (vin Y), even odder is it was a Sport Custom.
I wish I had more time, it has an aftermarket radio bezel, good narrow trim, and a whole bunch of other goodies on it. The right side is caved in pretty bad, though.
