I'm thinking about one of those for my '50, different color though. If you buy one be sure and post your thoughts on the quality.

How do you like that wheel overall, and quality wise? How good does the horn button work? That's the same one I've been looking at for my truck.

Do you have any more pics of it, like the wheel as well as the whole interior. I'd like to see how it looks from the side at the column too.

Re: Steering Wheels

The first is the little 13 i was running in my c10-changing out to a stocker 91 4 spoke like the one I had in my burb.(kinda funny how your tastes change with age) loved this little wheel when I first got the truck 10 years ago and now I look at it and wonder what was I thinkin!!!

2nd is the Grant currently in my K5 with a billet adaptor, love this wheel.

3rd is my 91 burb stocker.

Re: Steering Wheels

i dig the smaller ones myself. i think the 11-12" Look the best on the older style dashes, they seem to fit in better. I have a 13" on my truck now and it seems just about right as far as driving, and looks ok on the new style dash.
regardless, all the aftermarket ones just end up so damn close to ya with the mounting kit. this is the only thing i cant stand, but cant do much bout it anyways. although i have heard of taller guys pushing the column down a few inches, never tried it tho.

Re: Steering Wheels

do any of the aftermarket wheels give you any more breathing room. One of the posts said his does . Mine is stock --no tilt . Keep trying to make the seat go back farther , but it won't go thru the rear cab panel

Re: Steering Wheels

yea i was wondering if any guys on here have done that trick where they push the colummn down a few inches? id like to know more about that. and as far as moving the seat, i like mine low, and found out that the lower you go the closer your feet are to the pedal so that kinda sucks too. ive just gotten used to mine, but many thoughts of building me a extended cab came into play after going through about 5 different seat arrangements. like i said, i just deal with it now, but anything better would be nice. haha for that matter, wish i had the correct year tilt column. i assume that would help the greatest. i took the liberty of getting a free one, but it is the wrong year. now i have one from a 91 suburban i should use, but been lazy and rather save it for one of the other projects.

Re: Steering Wheels

I have never heard of this process of moving the column. If it would really work I'm 100% ready to do it. Because when I get my truck driving then I will for sure need all the room I can get. I am 6'8"!! lol
