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 knob? My truck has left air and right air knobs 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.

I doubt your truck is incorrect, the right air knob is difficult to remove. i may have the incorrect order. you have to remove the whole cable to remove the knob. 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 knobs 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
