Does anyone know if a 1988-1994 C10 steering wheel bolt pattern is the same as a 1978 C10?

The steering wheels do not have a bolt pattern. They mount with a single nut over a splines shaft.The splined shaft diamensions to the best of my knowledge are the same late 60s through late 90s as far as horn ring,and turnsignal cancel cam I have no idea.

Perty sure it is. Same basic looking Steering column up to the 95? Models.
My 86 has a new style steering wheel. But I’ve not removed it or compared to OE

Far as I know, GM kept the same spline count and cancel cam location even on the newer columns used in the late 90's and early 00's.

I think the splines changed in '95 when they went to the airbag column but I could be wrong....

I looked into it at one point in time, I could have swore it stayed the same. The earlier air bag columns used in the cars definitely had the same spline count though.
