Re: Need some steering wheel ideas.
I bought this before Christmas. Gonna freshen it up and try it in my blue '71 GMC.
Yeah, I wish it was smaller, it's 17". Currently have a wood Grant 14" wheel in it. Like the way it feels and the clearance for my big belly but don't care for the look.

Re: Need some steering wheel ideas.
That looks like a '58-'60 Impala wheel. Quality Restorations in San Diego reduces them to 16".

Re: Need some steering wheel ideas.

Re: Need some steering wheel ideas.
I still have my original but like my Le Carra Double Slot. Its 2- 3 inches narrower than the original 17-18 inch Greyhound factory wheel.

Re: Need some steering wheel ideas.
"67-72 Sport Steering Wheel" -- from Brother's Trucks -- bought it on sale, I think it was $219 then for the whole kit. To my amazement the horn even worked after I put it all back together.
I like it -- feels and looks right in the truck. This looks like the same setup someone mentioned from muscle-factory.com, looks quite a bit cheaper there if it is...

Re: Need some steering wheel ideas.
Trying to avoid a lot of dish to maximize room between wheel and seat.
