Figured out the hole issue for mounting the tool box today. Drilled the holes and eveything lined up really well. I did a final fitting and then pulled it all off to repaint the bottom and do some touch ups. I even tried out fitting the tool box into the tool box.

Rebuilt the steering gear box and the steering wheel this past week. Thankfully it didn't involve too much work as the internals were all in really good shape. Everything measured up well within the specs. I did the usual POR15 treatment for the case and the tube. A new wire was run for the horn connection between the button and the contact brush. One thing I wanted to clean up was the inside of the steering shaft as it had a lot of surface rust. I ended up using a 4' long steel rod with a slot cut in the end. I then wrapped some sandpaper into the slot. Put the whole thing into the tube then attaced my drill on the end and let it rip...errr..spin. A few minutes later I was done.

And the steering wheel. I decided to go with the painted finish covering up the wood. The main reason was that the wood had suffered from being expossed to the elements for sometime and had split in a few places. The repairs needed on it were done with a 2 part epoxy putty. This meant staining/clear coat were not possible without it looking horrible. On the flip side the originals were all painted.
On the inside of the steering wheel hub there is two threaded holes. They look to be 5/16" dia. What are these for?

Lastly I picked this up from a fellow MLU'er who thought it would look nice on my dash. It only needed a screw soldered onto its backside. That was easily done and now it looks right at home on my dash.

Jordan, I think you have the order wrong. Once you find a button you then build a Chev around it. I've got two buttons...
