I'm being given a complete steering column from an fj40, I think a 79. It's got the stock 3 spoke wheel with round center (T emblem) with horn buttons on each spoke. The turn signal wand also controls the high beams- this indicates late 70s, yes?
I know I can't replace just the wheel- gears don't match. Can I just swap the entire column out? Are the gears at the opposite end of the shaft the same?
I'm trying to replace the homebrew wheel welded to the stock center on mine. Also, my turn signal switch is behind the dash (connected via extension rod from wand at wheel) and has some dead spots, so it's becoming a pain in the a$$.
This is my DD so I don't have the luxury of pulling the old one to try it. I need to know if it should work before I start.
Thanks.
