Is the 56 the same as a 53? I think there may possibly be a couple of 53's in my parts pile............

The reason you are having trouble finding one is because it's not a part that wears. Your only hope is an outfit that deals in 53-56 F100's. There's one in San Jose, but I don't recall the name. Big M in Chico might have some 56's. I believe the part is 56 only because the cab is different than 53-55. I have no 56 books yet, but will have soon.

Hay, SPARKY. The parts and accessories illustrations catalog [pg 68] shows it to be the same. If you could find one in your parts pile and it has the notch or half hole for column shift, maybe we could work a deal. Thanks. Gusso

Example: Look in the books..a 1939 Ford right front fender is 91A-16005-A..a 1953 Ford truck fender is BAAA-16005-A, and a right front fender for a 78 Granada is D8dZ-16005-A. The prefix changes, the basic number does not.
