Topic: I need Part Numbers

  Can anyone help me find the correct part numbers for a 1940 Ford Standard, I need them for the Steering Box, The Pitman Arm and Drag Link.
I have purchased Ford Parts Books, Looked on Web Sites and find a lot of different numbers for different models, but not just one set for this car.
I would like to find one correct number.

  Only #'s I could find are for the box 81W-3548 B and pitman arm 11A 3590 A. no listing on drag-link. Out of the Green Bible. Don't know if this helps you ?? ken ct.

  Green Bible says 11Y 3306-A for drag link, steering gear box is 21A 3548-A (the 81W 3548 ken ct mentioned is for COE), and pitman arm is 11A 3590-A as ken said.

  Guys, a little common sense will tell ya that a prefix of 11A is not correct for a 1940 Ford. 11A didn't start until 1941. 21A didn't start until '42. Yeah, the part(s) may very well fit the '40 but it/they won't be correct.

The drag link which is extremely difficult to find is part 78-3283. One end is integral of the link. The other end has female threads. NO adjusting sleeve!
Pitman arm is part 78-3590. These are fairly common - fairly easy to locate.

Are you doing a proper restoration? If so, I probably have both parts if you are still in need.

  Mike,
I am restoring to original. Items that came on car when I purchased do not give proper clearance on wish bone. Finding correct parts has been a challenge.
I will use these numbers to cross check parts I have purchased. I will let you know if I need parts you say you have.
Thank you for your help,
Hrussell

  Mike let me know your price for the parts you mentioned. How to pay for them and shipping.
Thank you,
Harry Russell
