What year is the truck, which type of A/T?

Be aware that whatever info you get, it will be US/Canada related. "Down under" use different parts catalogs, plus y'all drive on the wrong side of the road.

I've got a couple of these NOS. I see at least one more NOS, but a good used one should be fine, too. This is for 1965/66.

The 1965-66 arm is a non power steering arm straight. Later p/s arms are bent.Power steering columns are shorter and bent arm will give more room from firewall.

P/S makes no difference until Ford/Saginaw P/S was introduced in 1969 F100/250 2WD & F350, from serial number D96,001.
