The '57 3200 I am restoring has the 1955-6 steering wheel- flat across, not the "deep dish" type noted as used on the '57s. Is it possible that they used up some of the '56 steering wheels in 1957 production before they switched to the new wheel? The truck has a '57 VIN code and a '57 grille so I am pretty sure it's a '57. Also the steering column is shorter with a '57 steering wheel, to account for the wheel deep dish, right? I actually prefer the '56 wheel's appearance and do not want to change out the steering column but will if it is not correct for the restoration. Can any fellow 'Bolters shed light on this?
