1936 Truck restoration

[1stford]

It appears that the steering wheel does not want to slide down enough for me to start the bolt. I've hit it with a rubber mallet a few times, hard enough for it to go on and no luck. Before I continue to beat on this thing is there any reason this steering wheel would not go on this shaft?

I'm agreeing with '36 5W above, and please remember, I'm not a parts expert, but that wheel doesn't look like the one on my '35 Fordor which has three spokes (see photo). My '36 Phaeton has a banjo, but it has three spokes too.
