I had the OG when I got the truck. Absolute first thing to hit the trash. I got a Mooneyes 12". And my belly isn't in the way.

Perfect.
Plus, for all you "stock" interior guys, I like the 67-68 wheels, don't get me wrong, but since I want to mix the original with Hot Rod, just can't beat a Mooneyes.........and having PS helps too.

Now that's a pretty nice looking wheel

Stock wheel all the way. I love the oversize feel, makes driving that much easier (and I do have PS). I've found that holding the spoke just inside the wheel with my elbow on the window is just about as comfortable as it can get!

x2 -- You need a large fountain drink in the other hand for the complete effect, however. Windows down, going nowhere in a hurry...
