well it worked at first, but a bearing broke deep it the steering column. we took it apart and swapped some parts with a junk one. now it doesnt work half the time, but i think its in the column. but it looks really good.

Splines on the GM shaft are the same (with a few odd ball exceptions) from the 40's all the way up to the 90's. Newer you get the more bland they are. Some of the higher end cars has some neat stuff and the late 60's to early 70's fit the look of your trucks.

This is the wheel I restored for my 67.

If you like smaller steering wheels look at the wheels in early 90 cavaliers and luminas, lumina eurosport wheels are very nice looking, don't know what there diameter is, I would guess about 14".
