Just for the sake of comparison, click on the link below and scroll down to page 116. You can buy one for $2.50 plus tax and shipping.

There was an earlier version of that block, used before 1911. It is a T shape, and rests on the lower frame rail as well as doing what the later ones do.
RV Anderson did the research on this recently at the Benson Ford Archives.

Preston,
One more comment: Your profile says you have a T and a TT. If you're working on the TT you need to know that the steering block on a TT is not the same as the one on a T.
