Re: How 'bout them steering wheels...

I built this one for my 65 C10. I welded the chain up and then coated the whole thing with plastidip spray. Gonna put the suicide knob on it once it's in the truck.

i like different things myself but from a safety standpoint i would think you would have been better off cutting the center from a grant wheel with the 3 spokes and welded your chain to that???

I can see your point, but the spokes and center are 1/2" steel, and very over welded. If they break or bend in a smashup, the grant wouldn't have done any better for me. Thanks for the concern though!

I like this. A lot. I had the same thing in mind when I get that far on my crew. The '69 Camaro comfort grip wheel is a little thin by today's standards.
