Default 1934 pickup question

Can't seem to find any information on the correct column drop for my 34
pickup. I see the 32 style in some, and the 34 car style in others. Anyone
out there know which one is correct? Thanks in advance, Richard...

32 style was used in 33 and 34 BB big trucks
Regular 33 and 34 pickups used a different style
with the key on the front and the switch on the right side.

Thanks Flowmeister, my 34 BB has the 32 style, Is the drop your
talking about the same as the 34 car?

That I am not sure about nobey.
I am not familiar with 33-34 car ones at all.

I used to have a picture of the dash from the RHS, but lost it in a computer reboot. However, Flowmeister's description is correct.

The column drop for the 1933-34 pickup is different from the passenger car drop because the shape of the bottom edge of the dashboards differs considerably. Here are pictures of the pickup column drop and the passenger column drop. Note the slanted upper edge on the commercial drop versus the straight upper edge on the passenger drop.

Thank you so much, 2ndgeer. That is exactly what I need, first time I've seen one
in the flesh. I bought a 34 passenger drop, and tried to install it, like you said it
didn't match the dash, plus it put the column too close to the dash. Now the only
question is, where can I find one? You learn something everyday. Rich
