This document is an exploded parts diagram (plate P-5138) from a Ford parts catalog showing the steering column assembly for floor-shift 1966/67 Fairlane and Falcon models, with notes also referencing the Comet. The illustration shows the steering wheel (3600), horn parts, steering shaft (13305), column tube (3514), bearings (3517, 3518, 3B564), collar (3511), shroud (3790), mounting brackets and plates (3676, 3682, 01698/01699, 017A50/017A51, 3513), and both manual and power steering gear boxes (3504) with associated couplings (3A525, 3B631) and hardware. Callouts distinguish parts used on all models with power steering versus all models with manual steering, and items specific to 1967 (17513/15C580 turn signal parts and a 1967-only clamp arrangement). Fastener part numbers with engineering suffixes are given, such as 52786-S, 97663-S (Q-4-A), 379909-S (UU-87-C), 381597-S (WW-78-W), 379054-S (WW-78-VE) stud, 55736-S (M-96-F) nut, 42154-S (U-256), 55802-S, 350983-S (MM-38-B), 97524-S (Q-4), 378959-S, and 358794-S (BB-815-A). Footnote symbols indicate application differences: triangle for manual steering Fairlane & Comet and power & manual steering Falcon, # for power steering Fairlane & Comet only, and % meaning refer to body group number. A reader can identify Ford basic part numbers for rebuilding or restoring these steering columns.
