Grant Steering Wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BigRed · 07-31-2003, 01:25 PM

Who has a Grant steering wheel and what is a good size for our trucks. I noticed some are 13, 13 1/2 , and 14" diameter. I am just wondering of the 13 is too small and would look strange. Any pics? Any problems with installation?

Thanks, but his site is overloaded again.

I remember the wheel he has though. I was reading a thread on the other post and Gchemist said that anything under 14" won't pass inspection in Texas. Sounds goofy to me, but some of these shops can be picky.

What do you think about this one? Think it would look good in a suburban. It's 14 1/2.

I have a 13". I'll get some pics of it. I think it is kinda small though.

i used to have a 14 inch grant 3 spoke wheel in my 78 before i stopped driving it and i liked it.i hate the size of the factory gm wheels that came in our trucks stock and i also dont like the 88-94 wheels either so when i go to get a smaller steering wheel im going with either another 3 spoke or a grant challenger wheel.i found the steering to be a little quicker since you dont have such a large wheel to steer and they look better than stock too.

I have the Grant GT 13" wheel with the fake carbon fiber.

Here is a picture from your web site:

13" sounds small and felt small when I first got it.
But now that I am used to it, I love it and wouldnt go back.
Dont have to turn the steering wheel as much as the stock.
I have a non-tilt truck and its at a much more comfortable elevation.

I have a 13'' wheel i like it better then the factory one.

In my opionion, the 14" wheels are more comfortable than the smaller ones. Then again, the '70 still has the original bus sized wheel and I like it.

But it's nice to drive the '67 which has a smaller 14" classic style three spoke.

Here's mine. It's a Grant Signature series, #1180. It's 14-3/4".

I like the look of the Grant wheel. Classy styling...

Thanks guys! I like the Grant wheels but am still torn between one of those or a '88+ style. I had an '88 style in my 75 and was very happy with it. Plus, you don't have to have any adapters or anything. Decisions, decisions! If I do get a Grant, it will be a 14" or bigger diameter because it's legal.
