Re: steering box
Here is the problem(s). Your car is FORD 0f CANADA and to answer your question correctly one would need CAN CATALOGING.

Re: Horn “fade” on a ‘62
And there is your dinner ... ;)
There should be two horns (HI-LO) and a relay and horn button. Diagnose it and don't point a loaded parts cannon at it.

Re: steering box
If it is a 1955, either US or CAN, it should be a 2-tooth sector gear unless it was upgraded to a 3T somewhere in it's service history.

Re: A bumper question for 56's
While perusing and reminiscing ... :rolleyes:
I just noticed this car has a CONTINENTAL KIT. Now the question is it FORD or aftermarket? The exhaust would have to be modified/re-plumbed.

Re: Help with VIN
What is stamped on the frame rail is a PARTIAL VIN.
There was no VIN (partial) used on an engine until 1968.
As mentioned, you need to have the TITLE updated.
Now are you still wondering...

Re: Help with VIN
That is not the complete SERIAL NUMBER/VIN.
Show complete SERIAL NO as shown on the RATING PLATE on the glove box door minus the digits if concerned.

Re: Ford 385 Family Engine 370 429 and 460
The 370 replaced the FT SERIES and the BIG JOB SERIES. It had different build details and ratings according to application.
I think the 390 is going to give you much better service.

Re: Windlace clip
The correct PN is B5A 7002614-A (55/56 FORD).
Maybe SEARCH and see if any NOS or maybe go by a trim shop and ask.
