Never seen one done, but it looks like a great idea.

Re: smaller stock steering wheel how to

Someone here was working on making a '67-68 wheel smaller but I haven't been able to track down the thread yet.

If I find it , I'll be back.

Re: smaller stock steering wheel how to

You would think that there would be a market for a small version of the original. I would love to have one. I like some of the after market wheels and wheels out of different vehicles, but the stock look is still my favorite. I just don't like the stock size!!

Re: smaller stock steering wheel how to

I would think a smaller wheel would only apply to trucks with power steering. Driving a truck with manual steering with a small steering wheel sounds like work.

I saw him notch out the brake pedal arm and bend it. It is what the guy is beating on starting at 4:12.
