Can someone tell me if a 64 f100 steering wheel will fit a 72 f100 steering column??? Or if there will have to be major fabricating.

Thanks!

from my understanding Tigger, the nub on the top of the splined shaft will have to be cut off.... I am not sure of this because I am using the later steering wheel but I am almost positive that we discussed this in a topic on here... others will chime in to help I am sure... not to bad if that is all you have to do....

I think I have a 72 col, my 64 wheel fit. Take a look in my album, I'm pretty sure it is a 72 col.

Anthony is right, I had to cut the nub off the top of the steering shaft.

Well that's goo news so far!

I was told it would fit right on but if all I have to cut off is the nub it should be to bad! How hard is that?

GDG,

What you did with your truck is exactly what I'm doing with mine. What year frontend ? What is the distance you used from rear lower control arm to arm?

Nice truck!

Would a 64 steering fit a 78-79 column???
