I have a 57 Chevy 1/2 ton 3 on tree, stock steering column. My question is will a 55-56 steering wheel work on my truck?
Thanks!

Also, the shift lever on the 57 has more of an angle to match the wheel.

The turn signal lever will also hit the wheel and if I remember correctly the top of the wheel gets very close to touching the top of the dash. Mike B  | | |
