Re: Metal Flake Steering Wheels
If you have power steering a 14.5" wheel is very comfortable. It you still have manual steering the 15" is about as small as practical, although a lot of guys ran the 14.5" versions on stock steering back when these trucks were new. Of course when young showing off you Popeye arms was part of the benefit!

Re: Metal Flake Steering Wheels
I think metalflake steering wheels are just too dang cool..........
Nothing screams '60s hot rod style like a metalflake wheel. I love metalflake when it's done correctly and on the right vehicle.

Re: Metal Flake Steering Wheels
^^^^Man, that thing is CLEAN! I like the color combo, with the black and blue, shiny and matte finish, etc. Looks like a truck you could drive anywhere.
