Any help finding this would be great! I also need the indicator/pointer - it is a round part that mounts on the column and has the pointer to which gear you are in.

Bill, what do the letters mean below the name of the part? In this case C,D,J, JH with F/M?

The letters are code for F100, F250, F100, etc that are used in the ford parts book. I'm not sure which letters is what without looking but I'm sure 'C' is for F100.

Here's a pic of the 1948-56 truck parts catalog showing the letter codes. FM would mean Fordamatic.

It’s likely I need to find new old stock or salvaged. 54/55 used the same dial. Any help on either would be great.

Do you have pictures of your reproductions? Mine is in pretty good condition, but does have some cracking. I contacted you a few years ago about NOS one(s) you had, but was more than I could spend at that time. You have always been a BIG help!

I have the complete column with gear box and steering wheel. I would like to get rid of it all at one time. I would sell very cheap. I am located in VA. Thanks.
