Default Can You Identify This Steering Wheel

I have this steering wheel and cant figure out what it for. I am pretty sure it Ford as it has the 3/4" spline shaft and 17 3/4" diameter. Can any Ford barner tell me what it for?

I don't thinks its a 55 or 56. 1. there are only 6 ribs on my crossbars and a 55 and 56 had 18-20 ribs. 2. also the angle of the crossbars are have more angle than the 55 or 56. 3. I also think mine has a deeper dish than the 55 or 56. Anyone else have a idea?

I think it is 56 or later judging by the dish depth. Mercury maybe?

that looks like a mid 60's chevy truck .
it has a hole in it for the wiper for the horn , ford used a hollow shaft .
does it have a double spaced grove on the spline for alignment ?

Ok! You guys keep telling this is a Chevrolet wheel when I know its a Ford. I have been through every ford book I have and cant find a match. So just for the Hell Of It I check the Chevy wheels and I'll be Damm!!! You guys are clearly right. Its a 1955-56 150-210 Chevrolet Steering Wheel. Ford Barners always know!!! Thank You Guys Again! And this Great Site!
