I was  told a 64-66 woodgrain steering wheel could not easily be made to 
fit on a  1968 column.  What changes were made?  From a few feet away 
they  look the same to me! :) 

I REALLY like the look of the 2-spoke  woodgrain wheel -  awsome!

Mike - The wheel itself will easily go onto a 67 or later wooden wheel hub.  
But those hubs are hens teeth. (hard to find). The Telescoping hub won't  
quite work. If you don't mind a little work, you can easily adapt a wheel  hub 
from almost any other GM car of that era  (through most of the 70's)  and bolt on 
the 65-66 wheel. The 67-up Corvair had the larger GM splines  like almost 
every other car. The later wheels with the lower third spoke are  designed with 
the third, lower, spoke mounting (in the middle) beneath  the one piece 
crossover spokes. The two-spoke Corvair wheel will have some space  between the 
bottom of the wheel center and the holes in the adapter, since the  adapter is 
relieved at the bottom for clearance. It will all be clear when you  see it. Grant 
products has brought out a whole line of reproduction wheels for  the GM cars 
of the 60's and 70's. I saw them at the SEMA show this year. Good  Luck. Feel 
free to ask questions. That's what makes it fun!
