steering wheel

Post by ford71 »

I like the styling of the 60's 3 spoke steering wheel with the horn ring and would like one on my '71. Does anyone know what years (if any) steering wheel will fit on my truck and if the horn ring will be able to work?

The wheel itself is a direct bolt-on, but you'll have to do a little grinding to the end of the column shaft to allow the horn ring to be installed.

As you can see, the end of the '71-'72 shaft has a little extra meat on it that won't clear the earlier horn button/ring.
