I've got a '53 C/K Commander with the Ross & what the Shrock Brothers website calls the Ruby wheel. Today, while backing out, one of the joints broke on the outside that connects the right cross piece to the outer rim.
So, I'm on the hunt for a steering wheel - which years fit? I'm not overly concerned with originality or looks, but I need a safe wheel.
But I recall someone telling me later years boxes will fit, but the columns are shorter. This may actually be appealing to me as I find the steering wheel too close to my chest. I'd really like a smaller diameter too, but I know that's wishful thinking.
So, which later years had different length columns and the saginaw box? I've got an automatic mast out of, I think, a '63 Hawk...and as I've converted to 5-spd, I would prefer an automatic mast anyway. How much shorter are we talking? Which years?
Thanks all!!
