alsfarms Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I just acquired this right hand steering column. Hopefully, someone here can identify. Attached will be a few pictures to show what I have. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Check early 1950's Studebaker, and you may find out it is really Left Hand steering, really. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Hi Bob, Studebaker did use a steering box that is in the same configuration as a teens RHD car but I don't think this box is anywhere that new. Everything about it looks early teens to my eye. The Studebaker unit is a more modern design, just configured in what we consider a RHD orientation. Pitman arm to the right rather than the normal LHD pitman arm to the left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 If you notice the mounting lug on the top of the steering box that would be used to mount the support bracket for the gearing to convert the motion of the spark and throttle levers from parallel to perpendicular. It is my thought that this steering gear may be 1912-13 but likely earlier as right hand steering was really out of vouge by and during the early teens. I wish I had a wealth of early automobile literature to check out but I don't. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 It is not White. I though maybe it was because of your Transmission post. Dandy Dave! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 I wish the steering gear and the trans were a pair, but they are not. The steering gear spent years in a 1905 Thomas. (The determination is that the steering gear is not correct for a Thomas). Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
