Re: Aftermarket steering wheels

Here is mine that I recently finished installing. Not sure if this qualifies as a custom but it is an aftermarket one, it's a Grant Challenger. I needed a smaller one for more room & easier access getting in and out since I don't have tilt steering. It works for now until I finish restoring & cutting down an original wheel from 16" down to 14".

Re: Aftermarket steering wheels

This is mine. No idea what brand it is but the size suits me and doesn't interfere with getting in or out. I really had to hunt around to get a thin adapter to give me maximum room, and find a unique horn button!

Same seller has a 'tween the buckets model too.

BTW - I am not affiliated with this seller in any way, just sharing the info.
Thanks everyone for the console info !

Re: Aftermarket steering wheels

We're there any original GM wheels from mid to late 60s that were smaller diameter? I like the OEM look, but don't need the "Bus Driver" size...

Re: Aftermarket steering wheels

I don't know about that, I mean there should be, I'm between a gm style 3 spoke with slots or a Lecarra mark 9 with double slots and black wrap.

Re: Aftermarket steering wheels

If like the Lacarras you should look at the Moto-Litas as well, the Lacarra is basically a knock off of those. Hand made in the UK, leather or wood.

I agree, I like the look of the OEM steering wheel but the big truck style makes it harder to get in and out of the cab. That's why I have 4 OEM steering wheels that I am in the process of cutting them down to 14" to 14 1/2" and will put them up for grabs once they are restored.
