Good day...
My 62 4Wd truck came with a 3 spoke steering wheel. The base of the steering wheel does not match up to the upper steering column too...telling me that the original was once swapped out.
From Ebay I purchased a 1965 f350 steering wheel that seemed to match up to the upper steering column assembly....but the splines in the center steel insert are larger than the splines on the steering column.
Question: Is it possible to swap out the splined insert from the 3 spoke steering wheel and replace the oversize splines on the f350 steering wheel? Are these molded into the steering wheel?
What to do? I can't afford a $400.00 4 spoke steering wheel that is currently on Ebay. I'm sure these are hard to find...but the price seems excessive.
Suggestions?
Tom

Pictures would help. but the three and four spoke steering wheels I have dealt with are interchangeable, as far as fitting the steering shaft. keep looking around for deals on a four spoke they are out there.

You have a four spoke wheel for a f700-1000 big truck. You need a wheel for a f100-600.

A guy is parting a f100 out near me with a 4 spoke. It's not in very good condition. I posted it a couple days ago in the FYI ads.

Thinlizzy13,
thanks for heads-up about the steering wheel. I just sent a note! I live in northern NH ... not too far from your area.
