Impossible, count the number of teeth again. Ford never offered a DRIVEN gear with this many teeth for anything.
DRIVEN: 1957/58 F100/350 - 1959/60 F100/250 2WD/4WD & F350 used TYPE 5 .. steel gear, has the actual part number stamped on it.
Will be one of these: 01T-17271-A (18T) or B (19T) or C (20T) or D (21T).
1961/66 F100/250 2WD/4WD & F350 could have TYPE 5 or TYPE 2 or TYPE 2a nylon gears, 16T thru 21T available.
01T gears obsolete, all are available NOS / Nylon gears available from Ford, used from 1960 into the 1990's on everything. Range in price from $2.72 to $5.00 each.

I saved this truck off a ranch. The tires don't match. I am just glad to have the speedo working. I'll worry about accuracy once I decide on tires and gears.
My driven gear is steel also. I have not had much luck finding replacements.

I've found several parts at dennis-carpenter.com I have a '60 F600 with the 292 motor and same transmission. I believe the cable is effective for up to '60 but be careful, the cable for a 4spd is different than the 3 spd. Last time I looked they were out of stock on the 4spd cable though.
