I agree it's a F-1 thru F-3 size box. Clean it off and see if there's a casting or engineering number. That can be crossed over to an actual part number. Looking at the 2nd pic, I see a fill plug. LH drive application?
 
Looks like an F4-F6 RHD box, except the bearing on the end of the sector, that fits into the side cover is confusing that? I have never seen that arrangement on that era steering box. Can you post a pic of the inside of the side cover?

The sector shaft is likley 1.25" rather than 1.125 like an F1.

If it was used in a LHD car, the steering shaft would be on the top. It would be like an F100 box but without the ugly pitman arm. It might have a good ratio to boot.
 
Will it be from a Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) Ford truck? I have a friend here in Tauranga that was looking for bits for his F30 a while back.
 
Ted those are sought after by guys building rods,I sold one to an AV8 builder.
I think it was from a RHD F1

Yes Lawrie good for a hot rod .They cut the Colom on the F100 shorter and fit different wheels to them ,also need a wedge on the frame I think , quiet a bit of hassle to do it ,Ted
 
The main reason my mate said was to get the box away from the exhaust,it was flathead powered.
Ted I have sent you a PM
