Topic: 1935/36(?) Ford Column Drop #301170

  I am trying to repair this column drop for a 1936 Pickup. Any idea where I can find a on/off switch lever and a lock cylinder that will work?

The cast column drop is stamped "301170". See photos.

My goal is to make it work. It does not have to be 100% correct.

Thanks,
Richard

  Here is an exploded view (by Gary Tosel) showing all the components in a 35/36 column drop. I think that you may need a few more parts than you mentioned.

  You should try Third Gen Auto I know he sells the 32 and early 35 style bulls eye switch. Don't forget the often lost item 12 from the post above. Third Gen also has these.

  Thank you gentleman.

I think I got it. It took me awhile to figure out the mechanics of the ignition switch assembly. Especially that the bent tab on the switch plate inserts into on-off lever grove on the bottom to keep it from sliding with plunger. Lots of moving parts in the housing.

Thanks again,
Richard
