RE: steering column
Well, I am not going to take my wheel off to get a pic. 
If you are talking about the steering column itself, it is attached to the dash with a U looking affair. (first pic). If you are talking about the wheel itself, you may just have a loose nut. Try putting a washer behind the nut so you can tighten it down.

RE: steering column
I’m pretty sure the only thing in the column on the 65 that support the steering shaft ( that prevents slop/play) is a copper colored bushing that slides down the shaft and mates with the larger cut out circle on the column.
Basically the shaft fits through the column and exits through a hole slightly bigger than the outside diameter of the shaft. You then slide this bushing down the shaft. This bushing takes up the slop at this exit hole.

RE: steering column
IIRC, the bushing goes in, the wheel follows and then the nut. There is no nut between the wheel and the bushing as far as I can remember. I'm about to take the wheel off on mine, so if you don't get a definitive answer by then, I'll take a look and snap a pic.
