i have one almost the same just black on my toyota pickup and i love it. Way better than the stock wheel.

If I wasn't so tight on cash right now, I'd offer to by your original wheel. I have a 13" Grant on my truck right now and I HATE it.

Hey white71chevy , you do have power steering ? I'm looking to change mine also now that I got P/S . Right now I'm using a S/10 wheel. Looks real good but still searching.

I like it.
In fact I LOVE it!
They're a very nice/Firm feeling wheel.
The size is perfect for my 72 with Power Steering!
I replaced the Black screws that hold on the wheel with some Chrome Grade 5 Bolts.

Nova70 · 08-17-2010, 01:06 AM

I love my 13" will and P/S. Works geeee-reat!

cdowns · 08-17-2010, 08:12 AM

the problem that is most common in wheel swaps is the lack of attention to detail when hooking up the horn//grant stuff has been notorious for many many years as non beepering

xludan · 08-17-2010, 09:41 AM

I have that exact steering wheel. I like the feel of it combined with my '71 power steering.

white71chevy · 08-17-2010, 10:54 AM

Ya well from the sounds of things I'm getting the wheel just got to wait for the mag to get here so I can order it.

red69ss · 08-17-2010, 02:56 PM

here's the grant wheel I put on my old truck it came from jegs and was leather wrapped. loved it , that truck had a 85 blazer column in it, but I seen one in a build thread the other day on a stock column.

Jacfourteen · 08-17-2010, 08:29 PM

I have one in my truck and I love it, and the horn works fine. I plan on changing the bolts like wwotr did because mine have some surface rust starting.

bigsnookmaster · 08-18-2010, 06:41 PM

I used to use the 90's era Chevy Lumina's steering wheel. Got them at the local pick n pull for about $8. Good deal on a cheap nice lookin wheel. Mine were always black with a red bowtie in the center.

magicoolbus · 08-18-2010, 07:21 PM

Here's a pic of a grant in my burb. Love it. Horn works.

swamp rat · 08-18-2010, 08:47 PM

I guess i'm the only one who has had a problerm keeping the horn button from popping off, I even replaced the kit with a new one and it popped off too, its just a large fiber disk that is pushed past 3 small dents or dimples, but over time ( both times) the spring tension and warpage to the disk possibly from heat has pushed the disk and horn button horn off amd that results in the horn blasting away intill ya pop the hood and unplug the wire from the horn, hell of a way to be woke up at 3am btw.. Nobody else ever had this problem? Oh i have the all black one and surface rust is a problem.
