I have a 1928 AA, and the steering wheel is in pretty bad shape, my dad and I got a bunch of parts given to us off of a 1930 coupe that a guy is hot rodding. These parts include the motor and tranny, rear end, a couple extra heads, intake and exhaust manifold all together with original carb and manifold heater, and the whole steering column. My question is will this 1930 car steering wheel interchange with my 1928 AA. They are not identical, but look pretty close.

If the '28 is a 7 tooth steering box, which it will be unless it has been changed, it will have a splined steering shaft and wheel. If the 1930 box is a two tooth sector box it will have a keyed wheel which will not interchannge with the '28 splined shaft It's posssible that the '30 box is a 7 tooth box but not likely.

Well I guess on one of my days off of work I'll tear the one out of the car apart and see what it has, because I'm pretty sure the one in the truck is original.
Thanks.

Look at the top of the steering shaft.

This pdf is a 2-tooth. The 7 tooth housing looks quite different....but I don't seem to have a pdf....for one the steering column tube is welded to the box...

Added the 7-tooth pdf
