Hi,
Hi I have a 85 F 250 4.9 with a non tilt steering column. it's also a manual transmission. Does this model have the steering column actuator that frequently fails?

You're confusing the ignition switchactuator rod that all these trucks have (see 11A599 in pic) with the tilt wheel actuator lever (it's not a rod).

Thanks number Dummy
I'm confusing them.just wanted to double check.
I do have another question though,
Are all 7 th gen steering box flanges the same ???
I have one off of an 81 and the one off my 85.
The 81 has bolts and a larger rag joint.
The 85 has a smaller rag joint and all rivets..
Can I swap those flanges.
?
Bill - Thanks. So after 2/81 Ford replaced the whole lower shaft and not just the rag joint?
But that doesn't answer the question if the larger and smaller joints can be swapped. And I don't think we can answer it from the catalog itself. In other words, I don't know.
