LOOKING TO REMOVE THE STEERING COLUMN FOR A 1947 FORD PICKUP, WILL WE HAVE TO TAKE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN AND STEERING BOX OR CAN WE JUST REMOVE THE COLUMN? ANY INSTRUCTION?

WE PLAN ON PULLING THE ENGINE ALSO

 

The whole box has to come out also. There isn't enough room in the cab to pull just the steering column. I tried and failed... These are old, one piece types with no removable connection from column to box.
There are 3 bolts on the box, one nut on the steering wheel. 2 bolts hold the tube to the dash, behind the gauges. Should be cotter keys on the ones for the box. The drag link comes off with normal tie rod end removal tools.
Good luck!

 

THANKS for the help, we thought maybe we could pull it apart.

Any idea where the wire for the horn comes out?

 

Unplug the wire at bottom of steering box, remove horn button then pull the wire up through the top.

 

Thanks for the response, we ended pulling the steering wheel and lifted the cab up and over the the column. Lucky enought to have some good strong friends
