Re: 39 Ford PU steering

Re: More 39 pu wiring
Thanks for the reply. I’ll have to look at dashes to see what year I got stuff of of. I’m sure my 38 big truck had fuse and resister.

Re: odd questions
BTW, JSeery's info is spot on, as usual. Tyree (and I) just crimped the wire terminal a bit to get it thru the loop - did not have to remove entirely. Just don't remember a second wire
