Can a 1942 Lincoln steering wheel be swapped on to a 1950 F1? Just curious.

is the Lincoln steering wheel splined? because the f-1 steering shaft is splined. I might be wrong but I would think that the Lincoln wheel is tapered and keyed

If you can locate a Lincoln steering shaft you can probably weld it to the steering box you have. This is done with the Model As using the later box.

Lodaddyo is correct. Lincoln wheel is tapered key, F1 is splined.

To mount my 42 Lincoln wheel, I cut about a foot off the top of a passenger car shaft (tapered key) and welded it to the cut down F1 shaft using a piece of angle iron to get the shaft straight.
