Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
I saw in the August email newsletter from Brothers Trucks they are now offering 69-72 stock style steering wheels in 15" diameter. I think I'll have to try one. I like the idea of the stock look with a more manageable modern size.

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
If they made one for a '68 I would buy one..

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
I'd like to see pics of one installed.
Hard to beat a 3-spoke cushion grip wheel in these trucks.

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
I'd like to know if it is stronger than the full size repop. The main reason I've never gotten a repop steering wheel is because so many reviewers here have said how flimsy they are, that the metal band in the center is much smaller than the original.

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
This one should be more stout by the nature of it's smaller size. I think the first steering wheels made available were flimsy then better ones came out. I bought a flimsy one from LMC in '01. I think these are cool, but if I want a stock looking steering wheel I can handle the stock steering wheel. If I want smaller or custom I go to a car steering wheel. Who knows, might one day do a truck where such a wheel would be called for.
What's the price on these?

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
I like it, it's pricey but with power steering, a quick ratio box, a new thick seat foam, it might be just the ticket .

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
Maybe you can take the sacrificial plunge and report back? Lol. I’m sure eventually we’ll see an honest review posted. I went with the “comfort grip” but may want to switch to this newer option. The stock look is my favorite.

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
I may just do that, but a driving review would still be a bit down the road seeing it's not running yet !

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
The more I think about it the more I like it. Yesterday I was installing seat belts and sitting behind the wheel I believe if it was a couple inches smaller it would be a better fit with the new seat foam. I love the original wheel, but it's just too big.
Anybody else think this way, or have a different opinion? Gary

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
I held one in my hands last week and was sold immediately......
They are very firm not flimsy as the larger wheel. I should have mine on Wednesday of this week cant wait Christmas in August for me to me.......I can report back once installed and put some road miles on it.
