Re: Beer belly / steering wheel room needed in 59

moving the tank out of the cab doesn't really give you any more room as the seat goes back to the back of the cab any way
hotrod magazine had a good article on reducing the size of the stock steering wheel
the structure is steel rod covered in bakelite
they cut the wheel diameter down, rewelded the structure and used eastwoods steering wheel restoration epoxy to reshape the wheel

i'd like to try in it my 58 truk, currently i have the astro van column and steering wheel
i would like to find a stock steering wheel and reduce the diameter down
granted i have mustII ifs with power steering, might not work with stock king pins and steering
