upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

I need to replace the stock steering wheel on my '71, it is getting pretty bad. I have PS so I am looking to go a bit smaller. Any suggestions, any pics?

Thanx

This is the same one I bought except mine has a black wheel..smaller than stock yet less obvious than those Grant type wheels.

I have one of those GM factory 4 spoke ones from the 89/91 Burbs, Jimmys and I believe GM used the same wheel on the early to mid 90's Burbs and trucks. IMO these are a great looking inexpensive wheel and I've seen quite a few on guys trucks on this board. You can probably get one at a wreckers for about 35/40.00 or maybe less. I'd post a pic of it for you on my truck but I'm at work ,so maybe one of the other guys will post a pic for you. If you decide that is what you'd like and can't find one locally PM me and I'll make deal with you on mine. My wife bought me a Le Carra wheel for Christamas and I will be installing it within the next month.

Both are Grant wheels.

I think mines a Nardi.

I got it years ago off a later model "pimped" truck that I traded for and then sold.

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

it was in there when i got but i believe its from the 73+ trucks

the horn button wasnt there and the horn doesnt work so i took a piece of lexan, cut it to fit, painted it and put on a sticker

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?

I like the look of the 90's truck wheel. My new truck has a 10" ghetto dirt track wheel in it and I hate it. I like the wood wheels too, but I think a stock wheel works well and looks good.

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

Ive been putting off the steering wheel part of our rebuild. What I would really like, is a stock wheel, only 14" instead of that 18" Hoolahoop. I wish the repop people had done that. Ill probably go with a stock repop... These trucks look so good as-built that its easy to 'get happy' and guild the lilly. Know what I mean?

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

I'm running the same grant that big.mike showed on the Nova. I've got the billet adapter which looks nice in my opinion.

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

Here's mine, and I couldn't resist showing a pic of the buddy buckets:)

Brian:cool:

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

Dang, so many options, lots of good lookin' stuff.

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

Are the later steering wheels a bolt on deal?

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

i love them buddy buckets

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

The seats are out of an 05 Chevy truck. The gas tank is under the bed. When I bought my carpet kit I ordered a piece to go on the cab back made just for the removed tank.

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

I think you have to buy a $20 adapter kit (or more if billet i think ) for the later model wheels.

I myself have been thinking about buying one. I like the new Grants and styles like that but the older wheels blend with the column so well...theres got to be a happy medium.

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

That is my issue to a tee, Grants are purdy and all and the newer "fat" one look good, but the stockers just fit the truck. Mine is just plain worn out... and way to big (maybe I need to lose some more weight).

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

This is the one I'm talking about !!

Re: upgrading steering wheel what R U using?
 

cool pics folks, I will let y'all know what I come up with.

Thanx

I Have A Mid Seventies Wheel That Is Dark Blue. It Came Out Of A Camaro. That Would Look Great If Your Interior Is Blue. I Have One That Is Black On My 72. If Your Interested Contact Me
