So, I was looking at my steering wheel this morning, it’s not broken or anything but I had a question. If I buy a F-150 steering wheel, like those 2 spoke steering wheels in those classic Full-sized Trucks. Could I like go to the junkyard, take one and just stick it onto my rangers steering column? Or would I have to modify the hell out of my steering column depending on the steering wheel itself?

You talking this style?

I dont think so. I havent had the wheel off my 77 in a while but IIRC the shafts are larger then the rangers.

It could probably be done if you were determined enough....but i dont think itd be an easy thing.

Im assuming you have a 90 by your name....the early (83-84 or 5) rangers ran a similar wheel....

You might have better luck with the early ranger ones.
