Steering Sector Info
Has anyone a clear photo and if possible an overall measurement of the 1937-48 steering sector shaft/gear assembly part no. 78-3575.
Going to see a friend next week who has a box of assorted sector shafts but don’t really want to pull my box apart to get some photos/sizes. A clear photo of gear assembled on shaft and an overall length would allow me to expand photo to full size to compare with parts.

Thanks for the info guys.
Looking at the PU today I was trying to work out how to get the steering box/column removed.
Has anyone removed a box/column from a complete PU, is it possible?
I can jack up the front end but not sure if the box will pass over or under the axle.

Lee - will try this weekend to raise PU and see if I can get the box under axle, looks tight.
Joe - did you have the engine in the PU when you removed the box?

Yes the engine was in it. I should have said earlier that this is a 1.5 ton truck so there may be more room in that than in a pickup.

Hi All
just to confirm above, today I raised the front axle 19” above ground and removed complete steering box/tube from pickup without problems.
Rebuild is now underway.
Thought I would post as it might give someone confidence on steering removal from a complete vehicle.

Nice work! Having a one-piece steering column creates some fun, doesn't it?
