I have a 66 C20. Need a new steering wheel but def want to keep the truck stock looking. My question is, would an Impala, Chevelle, etc., steering wheel bolt right up? If so would there be any gaps on column, etc.?
I know I can buy new for around $300, but in my area there are an ample amount of "other" steering wheels available for fairly cheap, just didn't know if the tooth count, depth, etc., would line up.
Thank you in advance for any help!

As far as fitting the steering shaft, yes, it will fit. GM used the same size and spline steering shaft for many years (example, the steering wheel from my '55 fits directly on my '85 Blazer column). I can't guarantee that you would not get gaps or a hub diameter difference from the wheel to the column, though. Another thing to bear in mind as well, the Passenger car steering wheel may be smaller in overall diameter. This will make steering a bit harder if your truck does not have power steering.

Used a 58 Impala steering wheel on my 1967 column. No problems.

Its a little big but for 75 bucks and a big favor from a bolter it was just what I wanted....I do have power steering.

Not sure but I think a chevelle steering wheel may be the ticket as its smaller than some.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

I don't know which part of CA your from, but if you look in Craigslist, there is a guy up at Sacramento, and one down at San Diego that deal a lot in 60's truck parts. I'm sure they would probably have something for you. If not RJ in Colorado.
