What other year ford F100 truck steering wheels will fit on a 71?

 

71-76 pickup/broncos & vans will all fit.
Other styles will fit but you'd have cut the shaft tip end little **** off so the horn button will seat and work.
If you don't cut it the horn button won't go on like the 70 pickups deep dish.

Same 2 spoke steering wheels & vinyl horn pads: 1971/77 F100/350 - 1973/77 Bronco - 1975/77 Econoline except 1975/77 F100/350 & Econoline with Speed Control.

1966/72 Bronco's use a 3 spoke steering wheel with a horn ring. 1969/72 Econolines use a unique 2 spoke steering wheel with either a horn button or horn ring.

Originally 1971/73 F100/350 & 1973 Bronco steering wheels were available in colors.

1974: Ford replaced them with a black steering wheel: D4TZ-3600-A that's repro'd by DC, ditto the 1971/77 horn pads.

 

Is this just a difference in steering wheel spoke configuration? Or, is this an actual difference in the steering wheel hub-to-column spline configuration?

If the different steering wheel hubs/splines are compatible, then I would highly suspect there's a good probability the steering wheels can be swapped between (compatible) steering columns, regardless of their spoke configuration.

 

I know what's original and what isn't. What might interchange is someone else's problemo.

3 spoke 17" diameter steering wheel using a horn button or horn ring:

1960/63 Falcon/Comet / 1961/66 F100/250 2WD / 1966 F100 4WD / 1966/72 Bronco (horn ring only) / 1967/70 F100/350.

Once the button or ring is removed, there's a hole on the outside of the steering wheel where the horn brush and insulator fits into.

Here's a pic of the 1971/72 F100/350 horn pad setup. The brush is 13A824 and is the same as these 1961/72's. There's no insulator after 1970.

 

I've found that the 1970 deep 3 spoke steering wheel has a shorter threaded 3/4"x 36 splined main wheel mounting shaft then a 1971 with the 2 spoke wheel.

70 flat tip end threaded boss for low fitting horn button.
71 wheel inside is deeper with a protruding threaded end tip boss.

The flat end 70 shaft to short and won't mount a 71 wheel on it as, I tried this already. Even the lock nut is different.

And no way to mount a 70 wheel on a 71 **** tip shaft.
