Is anyone aware of the interchangeability of steering wheels between the 60 and 70 series? Specifically, is the steering wheel itself the same? Can a 60-series steering wheel be fitted with the horn mechanism from a 70-series to create a J70-style version? The reason I ask is that 60-series wheels are more common than 70-series ones…Thanks

Hello,

If the spline count matches, they should be interchangeable.

If I remember correctly, 70 Series trucks use a 19 mm (I do not remember the thread type) nut to secure the steering wheel. A 60 Series steering wheel should use the same nut to be interchangeable.

Did you ever find an answer for this? I am looking at a new 70 Series (later 3 spoke type which is still available new) as a possible replacement for my BJ60 wheel where the foam has come away from the metal core of the wheel.

I didn't find an answer, but most people say that Toyota steering wheels are interchangeable... it's just a matter of empiricism.
 
Hello,

The parts catalog says that the nut is used on other (over 100) models. It also says that the steering shaft is 70 Series-specific.

It is a matter of counting splines and finding out if the number is the same for both 60 Series and 70 Series then.

Thread 'FJ60 Steering Wheel upgrade'

Looking to upgrade my stock steering wheel. Know I will need an adaptor and see others have swapped their stock for 15" Grant or Nardi. Any options I am missing?

Welcome any thoughts, styles, pics and sizes on after market FJ60 options. Assume this will be a simple install, right?

Looks like 2 spoke 70’s wheel works for 60 series. That means the 3 spoke 70’s wheel might also work (as well as 2/3 spoke wheels are interchangeable in 70 series)
 
I would be surprised if the spline was different, I am more interested to know if the indicators will still self-cancel, or if there are any problems I'm not thinking of...
