I was told it came off of a '58 or '59 Chevy truck. It's different than my steering wheel. Is there any way to identify what it fits? Could someone send me a picture of theirs? Or PM me your e mail and I'll send you a pictures/measurements of the one I have. If I can determine what it fits, I'll post it for sale. Thanks JP | | | | | Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 92 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 92 | Thanks for the info. The steering wheel I bought must be for a 55/56 truck. I know where a '55/2 LCF is located. I will take mine and compare. The wheel on my '57 6100 is definitely a "dished" steering wheel. JP | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,228 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,228 | The 1957-59 wheels are the same for Series 3, 4, 5 & 6 (dished 18") The big trucks Series 7, 8, 9 & 10 have 20" dished wheels. 55-56 have flat wheels. Mike B  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 92 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 92 | Looks like I bought a 55/56 steering wheel. It is definitely flat and not dished like my '57. I measured it today and it's 18 inches across. I'm still going to check the local '55 LCF that I know of, before I post it for sale. Thanks to all! JP | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,228 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,228 | ALL 55/56 wheels are 18", they didn't start using the 20" until 1957. Mike B | | | | | Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 92 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 92 | Well I compared it to the '55 5100 LCF and it doesn't match it either. The LCF steering wheel is a pancake compared to the one I bought. My wheel is somewhere between the dished one on my '57 6100 and the '55 LCF. Flatter than the '57, but not as flat as the '55. I may just send you an e mail with pictures. Thanks JP | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,228 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,228 | Got your pictures...I can't ID that wheel, it's not 55-59... I would discribe it as a shallow dish with three narrow spokes equally spaced apart. Maybe someone else whats to give it a try??? Mike B | | |
