Disconnect the two wires to the ignition switch assembly and then remove the two screws holding the switch housing can to the column drop. The entire ignition switch assembly will drop down into your hand.
Ignore the plate with the tab in the picture below. - that plate applies to the 1932 model year only....The dual contact brush pivots on the indented small hole inside the metal housing can....

Pete I had that plate with the tab fall out in my hands with the other small parts. This is on a 1936 Pickup. It looks old has to be original.
I assume that raised tab part that juts out goes away from the pivot arm of the on-off switch, right? Towards the RH side of the vehicle?
