I have a 62 C10 with a "Custom" steering wheel. I believe that the column is completely stock. I have now purchased 3 different upper steering bearings and cannot get any to install properly. When I install the bearing/horn contact in the top of the column and then install the steering wheel, the steering wheel sits too high to allow the nut to start on the shaft. One "option" I'm thinking about is to "press" the inner bearing race down into the column bearing enough to let the steering wheel install. If this is the correct procedure, or if anyone has experience with the 62 steering column upper bearing, your help is greatly appreciated.
