Does anyone know where I can find an exploded view of steering column and horn button assembly for a '53? My apologies, I still haven't figured out how to access things from the archives. Thanks.

FAM Section 9, Sheet 1.00 shows that.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Kevin's diagram from the FAM is a 1954 specific steering wheel setup. There are a few differences between it and your '53 as yours will have the upper steering column bearing/horn contact piece and a different looking wheel and horn button & contact ring.

Here's a picture from a 1953 Chevy Master Parts Book showing the typical truck steering wheel parts exploded diagram. Please note it is not a 100% match to your '53 as it shows an earlier 1941-46 setup. The retainer, bumper and spring shown don't go with your '53.

A closer approximation of what your '53 has can be seen if you look at the below LMC catalog diagram. Yours will include items 1 (steering wheel), 11 (upper steering column bearing and horn contact), 14 (spring loaded horn contact button), 15 (horn button contact cup), 17 (steering wheel to shaft nut - yes there should be a washer in there), and 18 (horn button).

Maybe a little less muddy? headscratch
