Re: Steering wheel
I believe the spline is the same but you'll have to trim the shaft to fit the horn assy.

Re: Steering wheel
As said by bobby. Just grind off the end of the shaft so the horn ring will go back on.

Re: Steering wheel
While the steering wheel will physically fit the shaft, the steering wheel's hub is smaller in diameter than the '78-'79 tilt column's, so not only would you have an ugly gap where you could see down into the steering column, but the nubs on the bottom of the early bumpside wheel spokes will hit the wider column hub. Here are a couple shots taken when I was investigating this very thing for my truck, discovering that it wouldn't work.
