Well, my  question concerns only the stock steering wheel, rather than 
any of the  other parts and pieces. If this Corvette guy gives me 
this  wheel  from a 1965 Corvair telescoping column (not a wood wheel, 
just a standard  painted-plastic wheel), does it fit only the 1965 
tele column, or does it  fit other columns?

Now I see (said the blind man) The painted plastic wheel from a non-wood  
tele-column set might fit other cars. It has the larger (non-64-65-66 
Corvair)  spline. This spline was used on 60-63 Corvairs and 67-69 Corvairs  - and  
most other GM cars - even up to today. It won't fit a non-tele 64-65-66 
Corvair.  It is possible that some 65-66 Corvair owner wants to remove his 
wood-grainish  telescoping wheel assembly and convert it to the plainer painted 
wheel  assembly.  That person should have his eyes/brain/taste examined. - 
But  that is only my opinion <grin>. PS most of the adjusting mechanism is  
different between the plastic and the wood wheels. Your Corvette guy won't be 
 able to use much of that either.
