cadillac steering wheel to chevy steering column question?

Randy is your 56 a chevy or a cadillac because if its a 56 cadillac the wheel will fit but if its a 56 chevy you must have some kind of special column or something cause I have a 56 wheel that is out of my girlfriends 56 chevy and its different then the caddy wheel because it fits my later model column. But my caddy wheel just spins on the shaft like roothawgs does.

 

For what it's worth...I just recently Had a guy up in Northridge Calif (machinist)remove the center from a late GM truck steering column and drill out the center in a 49 Buck steering wheel to accept the late GM steering wheel center. alot of measuring and such for dead center. Took the 49 steering wheel and had it welded. Perfect fit, and I'm using a late GM van steering column. Which looks in tone to the mid 50's columns. I also have two Ididit steering clumn adapters, they screw on to your exitings column (three blots), but I'm not sure of the studiness...later.
