How to identify steering column
I have a 66 Ford F 100...I thought the previous owner said the steering was from a 75 Ford... Anyway I bought a 66 steering wheel from Dennis carpeter and it didn't fit... The bolt and rod stuck out too much and the center cap wouldn't fit on.
i really liked the wheel and look but I had to send it back.
I guess I am going to go with a Grant wheel but unsure of the year of the column
How do I figure out what year my column is so I can buy a correct fitting steering wheel.
I have no idea how to post pics on the forum
The gear shift on the column reminds me of my dad's old 1970 galaxie 500 we had when I was a kid

I bought Grant's universal install kit to go with my new 15" steering wheel. Worked like a charm on my '65. Little more effort required on the turns because there's not as much leverage as with the original 17" wheel, but I like the look and my 6'2" frame fits a whole lot better in the cab!!

Think of it like a hair cut, your ears stay in place.

2 spoke steering wheel (w/horn pad/switch) different than 1973/77, its ends curve downward. Same setup with 4 way flasher.

There is no way to install a horn button or horn ring on a 1971/79 steering wheel.

Quitcrab, l'm the German guy.
The result of my modification can be seen here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...n-germany.html
I cut the column to be able to install the steering wheel and horn button.
Did it with a hand saw. It took a while but I had more control of the position of the cut.
