Steering wheel question

Hello guys and gals,
Does anyone know if the aftermarket steering wheels from LMC Truck fit on the OE steering column of a 51 F1? Any special brackets needed? Took?

Just as it says in the ad, you need to have the installation kit to go with it, sold separately.

okay, I thought that kit might have been for the aftermarket adjustable columns.

I believe these are smaller steering wheels. You should be aware that your steering efforts will rise considerably unless you have power steering. Particularly if you add radial tires and even more-so with larger tires.

I don’t have power steering and it does have radials. I haven’t been able to get use to the large steering wheel. Steering is tough but I wasn’t sure how much tougher it would be with that aftermarket steering wheel.
