67 Steering Column Collar Size

[RebelautoengrLLC]

Guys, your input is greatly appreciated. My question is.. 67 floor shift columns seem to be a bit of an anomaly. They are collapsible and have the mesh outer tubes like the 68-70 columns, but are the steering collars a different OD than the 68-70s? I have the 66-67 woodgrain steering wheel that I want to install in my Coronet. Is there a difference on the OD trim at the base of the collar for the 66 to 67 woodgrain wheel? I bought a column, from a 67, but the collar size on the column is bigger than the OD trim on the wheel. Does anyone have a picture of their original floor shift column, more specifically around the collar/wheel mating area? Looking for some sanity or if I need a different steering wheel.

Found a pic showing what I would like to confirm... if the gap circled in blue is correct or not.

Here's my 67 Satellite - original column and steering wheel, console auto. Collar is about 12 3/4" circumference

That would be 12-3/4 inch circumference not diameter.

Circumference on the 66 wheel is smaller than 67 I think.

I just checked my '66 with console--11 3/8" circum..
