52 steering colum
My sons 52 F1 Steering colum needs to be redone but I don't have any idea where to look for the parts. It looks like he needs quite of parts to keep the orignal in truck. Looking in the book and looking at the steering colum after taking it apart he needs # 3520 spring, 3518 Sleeve, 3517 bearing, 3738 felt seal and many other parts for the steering box.
Any help in locating these parts or a new old one would be apprecated,

The pieces that you're looking for are easily available from a number of suppliers. Mid-Fifty is a good source.
Here's your 3518 sleeve:
1948-73 Ford F-100 Steering Column Top Bearing Retainer Sleeve - B1AZ-3518-A
The 3517 bearing:
1948-56 Ford F-100 Steering Column Top Or Upper Centering Bearing - 21A-3517
3520 spring:
1948-60 Ford F-100 Steering Column Inner Worm Shaft Upper Bearing Spring - 8M-3520
and 3738 felt seal:
1948-60 Ford F-100 Felt Dust Seal - 3738
They'll have just about anything else you might need to rebuild the steering gear and column as well. Just plug the 4 digit base part numbers such as you posted earlier into their search bar and you'll find them.
