Default 1963 steering wheel

Was the 1963 Steering wheel larger than the 1964-66 steering wheel? My 63 SWC has a large wheel, but a friend with a 1965 has a smaller one. I know the 63 came with a plastic wood grain option, but is there a different size?

Default wheel...

They are the same size. Your friend might have a Cal-Custom or simular. Post a picture if you can.

He may have a C-3 wheel on it. They're an inch, inch and a half smaller in diameter. Otherwise, they look pretty much like the '65 wheels except for where the spokes join at the hub.
