Check out this thread from the Want to Buy forum.
A smaller production steering wheel has been found.

The short answer is that the steering  column is not adjustable.  You can get a little more room behind the wheel by (in order of ease of implementation):

1.  Installing a slimmer rear cushion for the driver's seat.
2.  Moving the driver's seat back by notching the rear wheel housing.  You can search the forum for ideas on that technique.
3.  Some have pursued making or buying a smaller diameter steering wheel.

I bought a 1946 CJ2A.  My question is:  Is there anyway to adjust the steering column to give the driver more room?
