60's Model Impala
 
I think it's an Impala. Would this wheel fit our trucks. It's a custom wheel and it's looks like a smaller diameter than our trucks. Was wondering if I could use it on our column and gain some belly room. Thanks for any info Jeff

Well, I've got a 65 Impala, and a 65 C10. Would you like me to measure both? The Impala wheel isn't that small... but it might be a little smaller than the truck.

No I'll check the dia, I was wondering if the spline is the same??

yep the spline is pretty much the same on all gm

59 and 60 Biscayne wheels were what was used on the trucks as a "deluxe" wheel, until 65, 66 deluxe wheel was the same as a 64-66 chevy II.
even the locking column late model wheels should have the same spline.

A couple of years ago I bought one of those new downsized 59 Impala wheels, and the splines matched up perfectly. Unfortunately I had an aftermarket steering column that sank the top of the steering shaft too far down in the column housing. When I snugged the wheel down on the steering shaft, it clamped the wheel to the column and I couldn't turn the steering wheel. The new Ididit column I have now would have worked perfectly as the turn signal mechanism is right up at the top of the housing.

Just something to consider before spending your money.
