"Transmission Cover Seal" I think that explains the confusion, it's not considered a transmission part, but rather a sheet metal or 'body' part so this is listed in the body part section of the parts catalog.
Strangely, for 53-58 it shows that this is NOT for the F100

Wouldn't the late F 1s and F100s all have had column shift? I've not looked at the parts book to see when the four speed was no longer available in the light trucks.
Very good info guys. You know, I love the parts catalog and think everyone should have a copy. But, I sure wish you could search it...dang.
So, what material is that made of? I would think it would be pretty easy to make one....well it might be easier to buy one, but what is the fun in that.
I would have thought that the metal ring would go on the bottom to give a solid platform for the seal. Having it on top would give you metal to metal between ring and transmission cover, unless you added another gasket. I wouldn't see the point in the metal ring on top???
Another case where the book is wrong! Yes F100's came with the 4 speed and yes they had a insulator ring on top of the trans. It also has an alignment tap that fits over the center shift rail hump. Look at the pics

Says nothing of the kind.
1953/56 81 Conventional Cab which means all F100/900 (except C/F - Cab Forward) and body styles 84 & 85 which are Open Drive-Away's.
NumberDummy post from the 61-66 forum last September
I couldn't quote the post you quoted of mine, but here's the related pic.
Basic part number 12130 shown in the pic is a body part. The Body section in the text is required to add on the apropos prefix and suffix (if applicable) to get the complete part number.

You wouldn't have a 4 speed on the column (4-on-the-tree) unless you had a 1963/64 Econoline, Mercedes-Benz 219/220 or a Citroen ID 19/DS 21.
All the F1/F100's were available w/a 4 speed (F100 cancelled after 1983). 4 speed replaced by 5 speed in F150's beginning in the late 1980's, today you cannot get any M/T in an F150.
Well that's interesting. It looks like that is exactly what we need for the T-98, but the catalog (Others have it too now that I know what to look for) says it is for the 48-52 trucks. So did Ford move to something else for our trucks?
Sounds like a question for NumberDummy.
I think Carpenter is right - at least right to the extent that the shape of the seal is not round as it is on my '55.
