Steering Wheel Differences

[Paul Hatfield]

Can someone please tell me the diameter of the 1/2- 3/4 ton steering wheel and the diameter of the 1 ton steering wheel?  

I have been looking for a good steering wheel for my B1C and so far no luck.  Wondering if I could stand using a 1 ton if the diameter is not too much greater and the shaft diameter/fitment is the same.  

Thanks,

1/2, 3/4 and 1-ton steering wheels are all the same size...B-1 & B-2 steering wheels differ from B-3 & B-4 steering wheels in spoke layout and grip detail, but their hubs are all the same

Help make this clear to me.  All the same ?  My B 3 YA is 2" in diameter.  Believe me I need it - but can't find even a bad one, is a b-3 18" diameter  wheel the same size shaft ?  Charlie Stephenson

• Here's how it is on steering wheels... at least B3/B4 wheels..
• 1/2 thru 1 ton steering wheels.............18" dia. ......small size steering shaft using 15/16" nut...............  3/4" thick at the grip
• 1-1/2 thru 2-1/2 ton steering wheels... 18" dia........medium steering steering shaft using 1-1/16" nut...  3/4" thick at the grip
• 3 thru 4 ton steering wheels.................20"dia. ......large size steering shaft using 1-1/4" nut..................1-1/16" thick at the grip  Models T-V and Y trucks.
• The 2-3/4 ton trucks (R) use three different size steering wheels including the  3 to 4 ton wheel depending on factory equipment options.

I believe the B1and B2 steering wheels are the same size spec wise only (spoke design and grip are different as already mentioned)
