Steering Wheel Help - What's Needed?

Hey guys,
What else am I needing to get this to look right. I got the truck like this and don't love the steering wheel, but will do for now. I only have the chrome cap horn button. Any help would be much appreciated so this joker looks more complete. Thanks, Neil

Depending on the wheel you got there... Some manufacturers sell adapter kits. (Grant, etc) come with a hub type cover for behind the wheel.

Re: Steering Wheel Help - What's Needed?

Let me see if I am focusing on this right. You took a picture of your steering wheel, while driving down the road at 30 MPH. NOT COOL!

However, if you only have part of the wheel, then if you can not find the brand name, you may want to invest in another steering wheel. I quit using the Grant style steering wheels a long time ago, but they are a decently priced item. However, the install kits are sometimes a problem to get set right.

He's going 30 mph, at 0 rpm, in park, with the key out!

Re: Steering Wheel Help - What's Needed?

it`s a jeep/amc wheel. you can find them on 70s to early 80s amc vehicles.
the lower part that goes between the wheel and column is made of hard plastic an usually gets broke, as yours is. you can still find them in junkyards occasionally.

I would pull over immediately and try to figure out why it's overheating. Maybe because it has no oil pressure??

This could be the start of the next big thread. A fellow truck guy needs help, asks a question and we can roast them. Hilarious stuff! Keep it up, this funny.
