Anyone with a '57-'60?

Can anyone with a '57 thru '60 tell me in what order your dash controls are from left to right, on the right hand side of your steering column? I have reason to believe that mine were moved around by the previous owner. Does your truck have a space between the choke and lighter, or the choke and heater if you don't have a lighter? Any reply would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kenny

Hope I could help

Thanks Jim,
I really appreciate the info, Am I understanding you correctly that your truck has an "option" or blank space for one to the right of the steering column and before the right air ****? My truck has left air and right air ***** at equal distances from the center of my instument panel. I thought this was correct, but now you've got me wondering. This is what I have: Wiper, Lights, L-AIR, <Equal space from center of instrument panel> R-Air, Choke, Throttle, Cigar lighter, Heater/Def.
Thanks for the reply, Just wondering if I understood you correctly.
Kenny

I doubt your truck is incorrect, the right air **** is difficult to remove. i may have the incorrect order. you have to remove the whole cable to remove the ****. if you have any other questions just email me.

I have come to the conclusion that the order varied year to year. I have one 57 two 58s four 59s and two 60s. When i restored my 59 and went to put the ***** back in i discovered that they were different in each year. So I'm not sure if each year were the same.

Wow, that's a fine stash of Fords you have there! Well I thought this was gonna be easy to figure out. You say you have four '59s. Are all your '59s different?

Well, after some more research, I think my dilemna has been solved. what I found was that all '57-'60 F100's and F250's are supposed to be in the same order from left to right:
Wiper, Lights, L-Air, [equally spaced distance from center of instrument panel] R-Air, Choke, Throttle (or blank space), Cigar Lighter, Heater/Def., then Radio.
Thanks,
Kenny
