Question Bought another 66

I got weak and bought another 66. Decent body, and it runs good. 352 upgraded C6 trans. Wouldn't you know that the PO put a 13" steering wheel on it. I just went through this same thing with my other 66. My question is what years/models will fit the 66? Will any passenger car steering wheels fit? I got lucky a couple weeks ago and found a "rough" 66 steering wheel complete for 45.00. I don't expect that to happen again. I am not going to restore the truck so I don't care about the wheel being period correct but I do need to find a larger wheel. Christmas is coming so I need to keep it on the cheap. (I hate using that word!) Driving this thing with the little steering wheel is a real PITA! Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Litz

Thanks for the info gangstakr but I'm trying to stay away from ebay. There is supposed to be a salvage yard near Santa Paula with several 70's ford cars, and trucks so I was trying to find out what years will fit the 66. Thanks for the info anyhow. Litz

I've got the same issues. 13" is way to small. I was thinking of getting a larger Grant wheel. They run around $200 + though.

I'm surprised that no one knows what other ford steering wheels will fit my 66? I was hoping that maybe early-mid 70's might work, or possibly one from a passenger car.

Yes you can use wheels from the next generation of pickups, the "Bumpsides".
