Update:

I've been buried at work and haven't had a chance to get to Ricks hub. Well last night I spend a little time in the machine shop and got it done. This is what rick had (from above)

This is what I came up with. It consists of a stock hub from a '74 parts car I had and a piece of 3/4" plate aluminum that was laying around. I turned the stock hub down to the steel core that has the taper and splines to match the column, then roughed out the plate and bore a hole to accept the stock core. One they were assembled I did the final trimming to fir the escutcheon that came with Ricks wheel. These are the results. I'll put in the mail today Rick.
