A little steering wheel help

[papabug71]

Im planning on getting a new wheel for my truck, most likely through DC, but im stuck on which one.

I like the look of the 70 & down wheels alot. They look more "vintage" than the 71 & up wheels do.

The 71 & up wheels look like something that should be in a scooby van rather than in a truck.

If I get a wheel from a 70 & down truck, will it work on my 71 steering colum?? Or do I need a 70 & down colum as well. I think DC has the chrome horn rings as well, That would look good on a black wheel. I love black & chrome.

What do you guys think?? Im not worried about it being correct, just want it to look good!!

to use the htree spoked wheel on a 71-72 column you must grind off the top part of the shaft. its just a small nub to gring off. otherwise the chrome horn ring won't fit on there because the column will be too long.

Just grind down the nub on the threaded part of the shaft? How much? Bout a 1/4" or so??

that sounds about right. kieth has some pics someplace but i'm not sure where at. its just that nub part on the top of the threads.
