I have a '36 Banjo wheel hanging in my garage, the spokes are flat with about a 1" dish to the center. The '39 wheel has bent spokes with a similar dish.

I think the '39 wheel will fit onto the '36 column without any alteration.
A lot of people like the '39 steering wheel, from my point of view, the '36 is a better looking wheel.
