Grant wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

greasemonkey · 10-24-2002, 09:30 PM

Just wanted to let everyone know that I installed my new Grant wheel today. I just followed the instructions on the kit and it went on fine. Everything works-horn, turn signals, and all the lights. I was doing some searching on the board and found all your "horror stories" about Grant installation kits so I am kind of relieved it is on with no problems. I really like the look it gives the truck, and it is not harder to turn with manual steering because of the thickness and the rubber. Anyway, thanks to everyone who recommended this wheel to me.

What model of wheel did you settle on?? I've looked at a few but haven't found one that looked quite right??

I still haven't figured out the horn thing on my Challenger 440 model. It kills the battery.

Dan the one im getting and i personally think looks awesome is the woodgrain one with the blue horn cap and has a white bowtie....i priced em out and they are like 110 american or 160 cdn, oh also its like a 3 spoke...one sec i might have a pic

My Challenger is a foam grip.

greasemonkey · 10-25-2002, 05:31 PM

I got this one. Actually, mine has a black button with a red bowtie, and I like the effect a lot.

YEp...that is the one I want too!

caa332 · 10-26-2002, 02:56 AM

i got a grant and i have been nothing but frustrated...... the first one i got, ( not grants fault, but autozones, ) didnt have all the pieces, so i took it back...... i got the one for a 69 gmc and i dont think there is a thing about it that fits, so im going back tomorrow to try and get the right one again.,... if it dont fit the hell with it..... ill try something different

I got mine on no problem...quite frankly, I really don't see where the problems come up, unless you've got a seriously buggered column. My only "problems" were both getting the kit in stock, clearancing the column sleeve a bit...hmm, I just thought of something...and dealing with really bad column bearings (I had to change the order of installation a bit because the bearings try to pop out otherwise).

Anyway...I'm gonna start another poll for the thought I just had.
