67 steering wheel
We all know the 67 shares several parts with the 68, one of those is the steering wheel.
My question: are steering wheels from previous C2 years compatible with the 67 hub?

Not unless you get a spacer for the notch in the hub.

Can you be a little more specific about what your intention is?
Do you have a 67 that needs a proper column? If so, Here is one... and $950 isn't bad for a complete rebuilt column
The 67 Column was a new design... its collapsible. And as Nowhereman is saying, it has a different wheel, hub, cancel cam, signal switch... etc etc.
Its kind of hard to do it on the cheap, lord knows I have tried. I say this as I just replaced my '67s turn signal switch for the second time.
You should check out this thread that I posted a few days ago while dealing with steering wheel, horn button, and hub issues.
The hub cost about $150 repro from the vendors.. but again, you'll need the other stuff too

while the wheels are the same, 68 corvettes used a unique 1 year corvette only hub. the 67 corvette wheel and hub were more common, and were shared with 67-68 chevelles, camaros and full size cars.

You sure about that Dennis. I know for 69 the hub got bigger due to the switch being located in the column.

Yes you can bolt a 63-67 wheel on a 67 hub. You will have a small open space under the center spoke. Only visible from a side view of the hub/wheel. Functionally fine.

Slightly off topic but 67 and 68 steering wheels are not the same. They look somewhat similar and are interchangeable but they are different.
The 67 wheel is a different part number than the 68 wheel too.
I wonder if anyone knows what the difference is?

This is my situation so far.
I have a corvette 66 steering wheel and would like to know what I need to install it in my car. Let me know if you need any other pic with details.
PS the canceling cam works properly with this configuration

No you have a aftermarket wheel and hub. You need to buy either a repro hub and wheel or find a original set up

67 steering wheel
That's why I already have a 66 steering wheel to use in place of this aftermarket.
Is the 67-68 hub specific just for the corvette or was it used in other cars?
