I never thought about the small diameter...That would be a problem.   I
will just have to try to get a good looking large diameter aftermarket
wheel.
Thanks for the info.

I've installed a variety of junkyard steering wheels from GM cars such as a 
Vega GT, Citation, and Monza on my '51, in an effort to find one that has the 
right look and feel and still allows visibility of the gauge cluster. All fit 
the original column spline with no modification. But if you don't have power 
steering, these smaller diameter wheels will make you wish you did.

Will a newer or aftermarket steering wheel fit on my stock '49 3600?
What modification do I need to do if any?  I understand that I need a
wheel puller....but is that all?  Would it be better to just go to a new
steering column and wheel?
