This is what is in my Intermeccanica..standard GM steering wheel mount so adapters are readily available for a multitude of steering wheels..

I have extra '58 column (or before) and housing that looks like the one in this SAMBA ad - I do not have the turn indicator assembly but CIP1 sells the assembly.  I'll take photo tomorrow. If you're interested I'll give you 1st. dibs.

Think the switch would be the following.

looks more like a 1966 beetle colum Its not the correct  thing in any case if you want it to look original  . Your best bet would to be get 2 old 66 or 67 bus and remake a 8inch longer colum out of them 67 bus is the perfered switch  it has the headlite dimmer in it  Use a super beelte unilink at the lower end  so you can mount the colum straight in the cab and use the copper pipe bushing and cabon contact kit for the horn wire inside the shaft.

Think the build range is 58-67.  Does get rid of key on column and the large locking bits so gives a clean vintage look.  The turn signal from CIP has dimming/flash to pass as part of the lever too which is nice feature.

I think I am going to hold off and try and track down an old 57 beetle style setup like mango mentioned.  I have a nardi wheel and think this boss will go good with it.
