Power steering and brakes were not available factory installed on trucks before 1966.

These were dealer installed accessories only, as was the spotlight, outside mirrors, air conditioning and other stuff.

P/S specific parts examples:

COTF-13A805-C... Horn Button-Standard Cab / Use with P/S / Fits: 1957/60 F100/600.

COTF-13A805-F .. Horn Ring-Custom Cab / Use with Power Steering / Fits: 1959/60 F100/600.

Both these parts have the words Power Steering marked on them.

Outside mirrors, even when they became standard equipment were not factory installed. The dealers installed every last one of them, thru at least 1997.
