Billet Steering Wheel size ?

I'm looking at a billet steering wheel for my 64.

They come in 2 sizes. 14 or 15 1/2 inches.

The 14" looks pretty small, what are you guys using?

14 or 15 1/2 inch

I don't have billet on my truck, but did one on my 71 Pontiac. You want the bigger one. And you don't want it at all if you don't have power steering ;-)

I have the smaller size and would definitely go with the larger size if I were to do it again. It doesn't cause any problems it is more of a visual thing.

I do have power steering.

Other potential options:

1.Keep stock wheel, get a tilt column. Keeps original look, provides amble room
2.Keep stock wheel but cut it up to reduce size to your liking. Quite a few articles on it on this forum
3.Reduce stock wheel and install tilt column

There are also stock looking new steering wheels for Impalas (15 inch) that I have seen in the 60-66 trucks, explore your options, good luck!
