Collar Swap
Hi guys - my '62 F100 floor shift now has a new turn signal switch, but missing the cancel cam, which seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur. It was suggested to me a few months ago to maybe swap out the whole steering collar with a newer unit. Any suggestions would be cool - thanks

Fits: 1961/62 F100/250 2WD / 1959/61 Full sized Ford Passenger Cars (before 11/2/1960) / 1960/62 Falcon/Ranchero/Comet.
btw: A (shift) collar is what the shift lever fits into.

If the top of your column tube looks like this:
most collars, up to '77 will bolt on. If you get one from a '73-'77, you can have built in emergency flashers, too:
If the top of your column tube looks like this:
your options are to modify the tube so that the later stuff bolts on or get a '63 or '64 column tube and it will bolt right in.

Unfortunately I can't open your pictures Charlie - that would be most helpful. I've been digging around some Falcon parts suppliers, and found one of them has a repo cancel cam that would replace mine (the threads are all stipped out for the handle to screw into.) Although a good find, it's not the part I thought I was looking for; there's still supposed to be another thing in there that actually kicks the switch off after making a turn. Don't mean to sound ignorant, but what the heck am I looking for?!?!?

The pictures should display themselves. Are you someplace where they restrict certain things?
There is a gap at the top of the column tube which locates the collar. If this gap is at about 9:00, many newer collars, and the associated switches should work. If that gap is at about 7:30, the newer stuff will not mount directly to it.
The piece that turns the switch off is a part of the steering wheel on mine.

Fits: 1960/65 Falcon/Comet // 1961/72 F100/350 // 1966/77 Bronco // 1973/77 F100 // 1975/77 F150.
If an A/T, the collar is the same 1965/77 (D5TZ7228A replaced C5TZ7228B), but it is not the same as 1961/64 (CODZ7228A).
