Well even as I was typing the original post something was nagging at me about the steering wheel. So after paying more attention I looked and sure enough 30/31 did have a splined steering wheel and that was my problem. Wrong steering wheel/horn rod combination. So I wanted a new steering wheel...

I am getting my steering column ready to install in a truck I am restoring. I have a rebuilt steering box I bought off ebay quite some time ago. I purchased a new horn rod for this steering box. The box is a 7 tooth so I got the horn rod which measures 45 3/4 from one of the major suppliers...

thanks for double checking. I appreciate your guys input

Thank you

I was looking on Snyders for a new throw out bearing for my Model AA truck with a 4 speed. Their listing specifically said would not fir a AA with 4 speed.

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it

Is it possible to change a oil pan out to a newer pan? I have a 1928 oil pan with the bottom clean out and it is in rough shape. I want to install a oil pan from a 1930 engine. Everything looks as if it will fit ok but just in case I am missing seeing something I thought I would ask. Thank you

Thank you for the quick response. Makes sense to me now. Joe

Good idea Thank you.

I might not of been completely clear on my issue. Yes the light switch does rotate but only because the lower bearing assembly ( as listed in Snyders catalog) portion where the switch seats is rotating. It is the very bottom part of the lower bearing assembly. Round with the notch for the switch...

I have a 1928 tudor. I am replacing the lighting wire harness and switch at the bottom of the steering column. The problem I am having is the very bottom of the steering box where the light switch fits into to mate up with the spider from the light/horn rod turns and causes the switch assembly...
