Default Steering wheel part for 1950 ford coupe

Hi, does anyone have knowledge where I can purchase the installation kit for the original steering wheel?

The car had the 1970's custom wheel on it with an after market kit that I removed and does not match up with the orig wheel...

Try www.shoeboxford.com , He should have some good used parts to do it. He specializes in n49-51 Ford cars.

If the aftermarket wheel had an adapter on the original shaft you need to remove the adapter. The original wheel should slip right on to the splined shaft. Unless the shaft has been modified you do not need any extra parts.

Thanks TJ.. I have been doing some searching on the net and all the parts they show for the 1950 ford are what I have from the custom steering wheel.. I'll get a puller and take off the adapter... Have a good one..

Wayne, be careful when using the puller. If the adapter is really stuck on the shaft the puller can "bell out" the top of the shaft and damage the threads. Put a nut over the threads and that will help stop any damage.
