I have the radio you need.  It is listed in the parts for sale section for $75 if you want to see pics.   I cleaned and lubed everything internally, including the controls so they would not be scratchy.  Also polished up the chrome bezel on the front.  It works perfect.  Comes with the knobs and tail support bracket.  Let me know if you are interested and I can PM you my info.

Reproduction '65 Steering wheels are available here:

Frank sells them as bare castings, but he can also sell you a ready-to-bolt-on finished wheel, all you need to do is send him the correct paint code.

Cars, Inc. sells reproductions of those wheels, but only in black. The '65 steering column is different that 68-72, so I think you need a '64-66 Chevelle hub???/ (Not sure)

Used steering wheels show up on eBay frequently. Use the 69 - 72 sport wheel hub with it to mount. Be forewarned that the horn will not work with this wheel. Hub is available at The Parts Place for $39.
