switching steering wheel need lost parts

[bettabruce]

Hi all,
I am trying to replace my steering wheel. I started years ago. I have lost my lock plate and lock plate retaining ring. Does anyone know part numbers for these?
I'm considering installing my grant steering wheel without the lock plate. Does anyone have ideas or opinions about deleting the lock plate and retaining ring?
Thanks!

Don't do it, get the pieces, probably can get them from someone here for a few bucks even.

yes I doubt the parts will be available new from GM dealer. Doubt any after market makes, maybe Dorman but their quality is gone down hill recently. Bone yard. Flea bay. Post a wanted add in the classifieds. I think most sell the column whole thou.

Sorry, I didn't even mention that it is a non tilt steering column on a 4wd 1975 k5 blazer.
