Steering wheel poll
 

Ok gang...I have a couple choices here...I think i already know which one I'm doing....but I was curiouse what y'all was thinking on this.
I have 4 wheels to play with here....one which needs to go into the GMC for when it gets sold...and the other, needs to go on top of the tilt column going into the Longhorn.
The choices are;
Grant G.T... despite the bad luck many of you have had...(barn) I haven't had these problems...and I have everthing I need to install it.

A wheel out of a '90-something S-10. Very nice on the hands.

A 68 wheel sent to me by a board member which I repaired the cracks, painted black, and polished the horn button...

Or this fugly POS that came with the tilt wheel from an '81 GMC van.
(I think you can tell what I want to do with this wheel ;) )

nice shoes Andy ;)

I was wondering who was gonna be the first smart @ss. ;)

Except for the horn button the 81 van wheel is like the one I have in my 72.

what about one of the camaro wheels? I know you don't already have one, but that's my favorite. I am actually going to go buy another one tomorrow if I have time. Otherwise, I would have to say the s-10 wheel would look best in the longhorn, and I agree about wich one to put in the GMC too.

I have one like the 68 on my truck. But it is too,"skinny". I would probaly go with the GT wheel. For the custom look.

My choice !!!
 

I removed stock steering wheel on my '71 and installed a black 3 spoke from a '71 Pontiac Station Wagon....has horn buttons on each spoke... and fits like custom... 1/8" space beneath wheel to column.!!!...... Like the smaller diameter........

It's all about the GT. :)

I would use the Grant Gt, I have run several of them with no problems. I have a 714 (woody) on the 69 with a 1" billet spacer. BTW, those are nice lookin shoes.....:D

I voted for the GT even though I still haven't figured out how to get it from killing my battery.

I went with the S10 wheel. I'm not particularly found of that style grant wheel. The other 2....Yech...especially that van wheel

I like the grant wheel, I have been thinking of getting rid of mine and getting a smaller one. This one's out of a 93 chevy conversion truck.

The Grant goes best with the "Hang Ten" Gas Pedal Man!

Id personally out of those choices go with the S10 wheel,im no a fan of it,but im a less fan of the others.id get a 80s Camaro wheel,or even the Chevette wheel is better,i have one on my Blazer but its falling off.If you can find one get a Buick 3 spoke(same as Vette and 69 Comfort grip option) or look in buick Skyhawks,olds starfires,those are the wheels that end up in all of my keepers.these kind

you could always find one like this one, it's what was in my pickup. It seems to fit good and it isn't HUGE like those ugly stock wheels. You don't feel like you're driving a school bus

:D

anyway here's a pic

I dunno what mine is out of, but it a factory fake leather wrapped S-10 wheel. I love it! It is thicker than the regular 4 spoke S-10 wheel. I have kinda big hands, so thicker is a WHOLE lot better. :D

LOL! You got me pegged Andy! I actually voted for the Grant out of those choices though. It's the horn kits I hate! LOL!

I like the original wheel the best (nice job on the resto by the way). But then again....I'm 'ol school

I have a Camaro wheel but thinking about going to a Grant after I get my guages into my cluster. Some wheels are bad about hiding the lower guages.

I've got the S10 wheel in my Longhorn and I like it.

i gotta go grant. i've go a challenger and had no probs with the horn kit. that's me tho.

Go Grant! ive got a 14" Grant 3 spoke, works great no probablems with the horn...

PS andy, i thought you had a pioneer cd deck in old red?

don't have a picture, but I have a wheel out of a 90's lumina. faked wrapped leather like above, but with three spokes

gt for sure

I like the Gt the best... putting one in mine!

Wow...I figured the 68 would win.
I do love the grant and the S-10 when my hands are wrapped around them, but as stated, you can't see the guages for crap. I'll probably be swapping them out all the time.
I think I will start out with the 68 wheel. I'm kinda wondering how long the paint will last on it. i hear from many ppl you can just paint them after a good sanding and cleaning...but I am still sceptical.

On the stereo..I removed it to install in the wife's ride after hers got stollen...had to shut her up. Not that I was able to hear it over my pipes anyways...
But then it got ripped off out of her truck. That's the one they tried to steel the whole truck for. :(

Here's my first choice, It's none of them you posted though ANDY.

This as a "NARDI" Italian made and one piece wood. Yes they are expensive but once you see one in person it's a "gotta have" The only problem is my truck doesn't look good enough yet to put the wheel on, I'd embarass it... hehe

I bought this one out of GERMANY,

RON

Ya know at first, I didn't like the way the wheel blocked the bottom guages, but after awhile driving the truck, I didn't care. Plus, I always move the wheel a little while I'm driving, so, I see them anyways. :D

Wheels
 

Out of the four shown I would use the s-10 wheel. The rest are well you said it best....


FUGLYYYYY

If you want another idea try some corrvette wheels, like the one in my 71.

Grant .

sterring wheel
 

go witht he grant it looks nice and nice shoes!:bowtie: :flag:

Have yall ever seen the wheel on a 89 cavalier GT they look great I use them on all my rides,I even had one on BIG ORANGE! And if it wasnt cold I would go out to the shop and take a pic and show you what it looks like.

This is the same wheel that is in my S-10, and it doesn't block the view of the lower gauges. Now I'm just trying to get the horn wired to it.

You guys are too funny! (nice shoes - smart ass)

I voted for the Grant steering wheel, but I misread the question! Which, are good, except the cheap ass horn kit!

I got one like Subs, gave 6 bucks for it!! I like the Grant or the Z-24 wheel Big O was talkin' about:bowtie: :flag: :bowtie:

Here is the wheel that I really want!
Somethign I didn't think about...the spoke probably won't be covering too much...not on a tilt column anyways.
Hmmmm....I may just have to rethink this and agree with the majority here.

Don't those wheels have a really deep dish to them? I have never seen one, but I wanted one until I looked at the dimensions, and I know at least for me I would have no room for my arms.

is that a Corvette wheel?
