h*llo, i have got a 51 f1 truck being shipped to the u.k from usa ,it needs a new steering wheel ,i have a large expensive order with parts for my 39 coupe and the truck with macs(15% off) but they have wheels to 1948 only ,would they fit my truck? ,i dont want to go bob drake etc and have 2 orders as its very expensive to ship plus taxes and handling fees this end, i dont want to appear "cheap" but i have to draw a line somewhere , thanks for reading jim.

Jim, the F-1 steering wheel fits a splined shaft. Mac's should have that wheel for your truck. I believe they are reproduced by Dennis Carpenter.
