Steering Wheel adaptation

This might be a dumb question but...

Some of U may know that I am rebuilding a CJ8 & converting it to a M-170.

I have a question,
1. Is there any way this steering wheel will fit the 1984 CJ8's column? I called & could not get a answer if it will fit the shaft diameter or not. They do make one in Black for later CJ's w/a slightly bigger hole.

2. For some of you fabricators out there is it possiable to make one fit & if so, how?

Thanks,
RollBar

P.S. The picture of the steering wheel is from 4wd.com, part number-A6858, year 1951-1968

 

Find a coluum from a 72-75 CJ It will look like the M170 one.
Will have to make some mounting bracket.
You will be able to use the large bus type steering wheel.

Thanks I didn't think of that. Will I be able to keep my steering box or do I need to change that out as well.

 

postal column should work also

 

Thanks, now to find one, maybe Midwest Military has one.

What about the steering box? Would the CJ8's box work? I'm don't know to much about teh steering boxes.
