Steering Wheel

I saw this steering wheel on ebay. It looks like the one on my 68. Does anyone know if this would be the same as the one on Oldsmobile. Thinking about bidding if it fits.

Thanks

There's some difference where the spokes meet between Olds, Buick and Chevrolet woodgrain wheels, and I think you have to have the hub that matches the wheel. Look at pictures 5 & 6 and you'll see it. Olds made the spokes as one piece where Chevy bottom spoke was separate.

That's not correct. The 1968 Olds wheel overlaps the bottom spoke. The hub has a notch to clear this. I have seen the non-overlap three spoke wheels, but Olds did not use them. There are also different amounts of "dish" in the wheels. The Corvette wheels have the deepest dish.

My mistake. Thought Chev had the overlap spokes.
