Anybody have a Comfort Grip steering wheel on a LMC tilt column?

The PO of my 71 bought one of the cheap made LMC chrome "Replacement Tilt Steering Column" part# 38-4838. I don't like the wood steering wheel that is on it. I want to put a Comfort Grip if possible.
It says in the LMC book these " Tilt columns can be used with original, reproduction, or aftermarket steering wheels"
Do you think the Comfort Grip will fit? Do you think the hub will be the right size and splined correct? If so will it have all the needed parts (in pic) hub, horn stuff?

Thumbs up Re: Anybody have a Comfort Grip steering wheel on a LMC tilt column?

The hub maybe just a tad bigger than the tilt collar but I haven't ever worried about it myself. You can always file it down and repaint it if it does bother you though.

As far as all the parts for the horn make sure it is a complete kit.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

If you go with the 67-68 Camaro sized hub it should match up with the column. The 69 hub (for vehicles with key in the column) is larger OD.
