Ok, well now that my sub box is finished. I will ahve to move the bench seat up one notch so it can fit. Now i have to fit. Here is my problem......needless to say I am a rather big boy haha. and my gut hits the steering wheel. so now i need a smaller. I work out everyday lifting weights and an loseig weight, but i need a quick fix now lol. Anyone know where i can get some small steering wheels like GT ones, that are tiny lol. The steering wheel in there now is the stock one and is just to big!! So any help would be great!!! Thx guys

Have you tried takin a dump??? lol
j/k
The GT's are cheap at autozone. If I had my new one I would make you a deal

apstguy · 04-11-2003, 11:07 PM

Yeah - I just got a Grant for cheap - Kragen or Autozone have them for around $40. The one I have is the "Challenger" all black - it is 14" wide. Normal steering wheel is around 16"

78' Silverado · 04-11-2003, 11:46 PM

Holy crap. 2 inches would be great. Will the ones at autozone fit my truck? Are they hard to install, do I need a steering wheel puller to get it off. Do they come with a horn haha, if not wat will i use. lol.

apstguy · 04-11-2003, 11:59 PM

Yes the autozone ones will fit as long as you get an installation pack with them (they sell them too). Yes you need a puller - either rent the one at autozone or buy the grant one (dirt cheap like $5). Yes they come with a horn!

Mine's the Chrome version of the pic Mike posted but has a center cap that sticks out where the horn is. My horn isn't hooked up right now cuz one night around 1 AM when the neighborhood was sleeping the cap conveniently popped off and caused the wires to touch and my horn went off for about an hour before a neighbor called the cops and they were ringing our doorbell at 2 AM. There's a reason those steering wheels are cheap. But it looks good and gets me where I need to go.

So now I just use my finger

Well not really cuz that's not something I want my 2 year old to pick up, but I think about it a lot

Quick fix, go to the local boneyard.

Most GM wheels interchange, including cars.

I've used Camero, but the most common seem to be the mini van. They are both smaller and flatter giving you more room.

78' Silverado · 04-12-2003, 02:20 PM

Kool beans guys. Doesn't sound like to hard a job lol. I guess i can get everything i need from autozone haha. Thx guys for all your info on this
