external star washer

Where can you buy the external star washer for the steering adjustment on a 56 f100? Thanks in advance.

No part number shown for the star washer in my parts CD. It's very special, best bet is going to be someone who has a junk box they'd sell it off. What's wrong with yours?

closest I could find is this on the C&G Ford parts website.



Not for a 56 but may be close..It sure looks like what I have.

Thanks Indybeer, That one should worked after grinding the tab out of the center. I'm expecting a order from C&G already.

Basic part number for 1948/60 was 3564 .. FoMoCo pic says: Not Serviced.

Additional applications for 78-3564 not listed on C&G website: 1952/56 Ford Passenger Cars & 1955/56 Thunderbird.

Not listed for 1948 and later F series trucks.

Van pelt has those washers. I am pretty sure the 78 part was used through 55, not sure about 56.

Indeed, "78 3564 Lock (steering thrust screw)" as it is listed in the catalog, fits 48-55 F1/100-F6/600. My catalog only goes to 1955, so it may have, and likely does based on other data, fit other years/applications. Once upon a time, it appears it was serviced.
