This is for those of you who have removed a steering wheel on a 4th gen F-body or happen to have one lying around:

How many bolts attach the wheel to the column? Anybody have any pictures of the end of the column with no wheel attached or the back of a steering wheel?

If it makes any difference, the vehicle in question is a 97 T/A with all the radio controls in the wheel.

 

No bolts. The steering wheel slips (force fit) over the splined end of the steering shaft, and a big nut holds it on the shaft.

 

So it's the same as any of the other Chevrolet columns I've worked with. The aftermarket wheels with several bolts like a Grant wheel have adapters with a splined hole through the center adapting to the bolt pattern then.

I am trying to figure out if I can fit one of those "paddle shift" kits in while still retaining all the factory radio controls in the wheel.

Thanks
