I have a 53 3100. I kept my stock column and took the turn signal switch and wheel off a 57, they fit together. It bolted right on. They charged me $20 at the junk yard for them. I had to shorten my column 4" because of the dished wheel on the 57. That cost $30. I'm going to put a smaller diameter ring on my stock 57 steering wheel because I have electric power steering and want to keep the old school look but don't need the giant wheel. looks totally stock with self canceling turn signals. You will need to get a new electrical switch for the inside. They are about $30. These came on everything from Corvettes to Bel Air to trucks and are easy to find. All the springs and stuff are available cheep. Do not pay the $200 of so for the repops.
