New grant steering wheel
Well it was my birthday a few days ago so I asked for some truck parts. My dad was up at summit in reno and he knew that I've been wanting a steering wheel. I got it mounted up so here's a pic.

no you have to buy the adapter separate. the wheel is $55 and the adapter is another $15 at summit.
Thanks for the compliments.

Re: New grant steering wheel
Does your horn work? What did it take to make that happen?

Re: New grant steering wheel
Does the wheel block the view of the gauges?

Yeah the horn works, everything needed is in the mounting kit.

It blocks them a little but not too bad, I'll try to get a pic from driver's view so you can see what it looks like.

Thanks for the complements. Mine are starting to get some surface rust so I think I'm gonna change them out for stainless or chrome before they get too bad. What are your thoughts on the line of sight to the gauges?

Well mine rusted because of too much humidity in the Garage.
Found out that was due to a split in the Dryer Vent Tube.
It was venting directly into the Garage for over 3 months.
Bought (1) new $4.00 exhaust tube and problem solved.
Only AFTER I paid $1.64 per Chrome Bolt (X 8), which wasnt bad but the shipping for said bolts was $9.50 !!!
