48-52 Steering box, wheel and adapter question

I thought while I was letting my welds cool for my model A to 48-52 truck box conversion, I'd ask a couple of quetions.

I really want to use my 40 deluxe whee. I'm a little thick throught the belly so it may be a little large in diameter.

For the time being, I'm going to use the wheel in the picture below. I really like the diamter but I don't car for the style in the rod I'm building.

1. Can I buy an adapter to put this wheel on a splined shaft? I have the adapter to put it on a keyed shaft like the older Fords had.

2. What the heck is this wheel, anyway? It was on a column that I picked up off of a fella.......What year is it probably from?

thanks!

 

found this on JCWhitney. Looks like its for the standard 3 bolt steering wheel though

Thats a standard replacement wheel that was common in 1973

"37 -48 p*** car internals will fit in the 48-51 f-1 box, steering shaft will be for a keyed wheel and the truck will have splines....thats the only differance, you will need the f-1 case and cover the rest you can steal from a p*** box.. hows that for cutting through the B.S.???"


hmmmmis those shafts are the same length and mine has a good worm on the end, why couldn't I use one of my 37 and up shafts in my F1 box and guts????

something to try tomorrow....any input?

 

I have a F-1 steering box in the Es***;I put the steering shaft from a '39 p***enger car in so I could use the '39 wheel.Fits perfectly.

 

sounds good.....i'll tear one apart in a bit....thanks!!!
