69 steering wheel on '72

[1971ford]

I know the info is on here, but im not sure where. A '69 PS steering wheel will go right onto a '72 manual steering column correct?

[fordman]

the wheel will go on. butthe horn ring or button wont fit unless you grind off the top end of the 72 shaft.

ahhh man. Hmm. yeah the 69 wheel has a horn ring that needs to stay. So i need to grind some of the column shaft off? oh well no biggy, the truck is at a full blown welding shop after all

Good evening Ryan,

Perhaps you'd enjoy this thread: How do I adapt a 61-70 steering wheel to my 72?

'Evening Ryan,

You're quite welcome! Helping you with something is like helping Joe Montana pump up his football--you're a FORDification celebrity Buddy!

And thanks for appreciating the 'wheel. It does look nice doesn't it! Every time I put my hands on it I get a preview of how things will be down the road, as #50 grows increasingly rejuvenated.
