1966 F-100 Vintage Style Steering Wheels? Where?

I have an aftermarket steering column, now looking to pair with an aftermarket but period-correct steering wheel. Who sells vintage style wheels for the new columns?

If you have experience fitting an aftermarket vintage looking wheel to your new column, I would appreciate knowing the process, especially what specific adapters to buy etc. Thanks.

I bought a repop 17in steering wheel that fit on the OEM column. I subsequently switched to a ididit column and kept the steering wheel. So an ididit column will accommodate a Ford original wheel. It is a little thinner than the Ford wheel.
I don’t remember who I bought it from but I can look it up.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm sure it must be possible to fit a vintage-style wheel to a new modern column, but I'm having a hard time finding.

This is a 17inch wheel from flash power. Their site has been down for a while but answer the phone and are great to speak with. I initially got a grant wheel from summit and the fit and finish was awful. I wanted the look and style of a mustang wheel and this one fit the bill. They are available on amazon and the flash power e-bay store. I got this for my ididit tilt column.

Swamprat he's got an aftermarket column, I don't think any of the stock replacements will fit

The OP didn't say what aftermarket column. iDidIt for example does support OEM steering wheels on some of their column models.

Swamp, I have to assume that the horn ring works, correct? I’m curious if it’s just a look or actually useable. Did you put the wrap on the wheel? Thanks!

This is my column. Trying to figure out what brand it is, and if I can get a different wheel to fit to it.

Pop off that horn button with the screws shown (or they may be faux and you can just pop it off) and count the mounting hardware to the adapter, for example if it has 9 bolts like the one I posted, google "9 hole aftermarket steering wheels" and you'll get a good list of options going.

I wonder if that column may be a Flaming River ?

For my '77 Ford pickup I pulled a tilt column out of a '78 full sized Ford Bronco, them modified it to work for me.
