Does anyone know if a 57 stick column will work with a 56? changing from a Ford-O to a stick in a 56.

Ford built almost a totally different car from 56 to 57. Y block engines and the transmissions are about the only thing that weren't changed and even the transmission went from a course to fine spline.

Vick: As noted it's doubtful that a 57 or 58 steering column assembly will transfer to a 56 due to the chassis changes. You will just have to checkout all the dimensions etc. Also, even if it would fit, only the 58 is really a better internal design & a hangup there is that it uses a completely different Horn setup... Brushwolf: It's not clear to me what your trying to do there, but a 54 might be a closer fit, except the steering shaft is probably to long, due the the 56s safety recessed steering wheel. The 57 & 58 column tubes are similar, but slightly different in length. In any case make sure the replacement box is in good shape, as after 50 years it's often not the case.
