steering gear plug
Does anyone know the thread size of a '32-'48 steering gear filler plug (B-3538)? None of the "normal" parts suppliers seem to have them.

Re: steering gear plug
It's a 1/4" pipe plug. Snyder's has them http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/search?q=3538
I stand corrected, this information is incorrect. Bob Last edited by Bob C; 04-17-2016 at 02:09 PM. |

Re: steering gear plug
Not sure where you will find a 3/4"-20 bolt. I do have some steering box fill plugs, if you can't find anything to fit. PM me.

A (B-3538) plug as listed is a 3/4"-20 tapered pipe thread. Most likely a special purpose thread. |

Re: steering gear plug
As (34pkup) indicated my '49-'53 Merc. parts book lists B-3538 as having 3/4"-20 thread and 3/4" inch length.

Re: steering gear plug
That same part number is still listed for the 64 to 72 Ford trucks. If it's the same part they are listed for 48 - 60 F100 as well. Think I would try and locate a used original.
