Did power steering change steering wheel diameter?

With that being said I can't have a 15" wheel, I need at least 16-17".

Orange sunshine, I'm glad you saw that I quoted you, I appreciate your knowledge. I have considered the advantages of a 3spoke compared to a 2 spoke. My '67 2-ton has a 3 spoke and I like it.

I appreciate the shout, my friend.

I still have a '67 K/10 Suburban. In the '90s tried to put a C/10 '69 P/S gear box on it. Didn't work. Powerplant was BBC 454. P/S pump worked perfect. Bad steering geometry, made me take off the whole Power Steering package and reinstall my old manual steering gearbox. JB welded a crack on the back of the case. The OEM draglink had been hacked by tireshop mechs, on my direction. Now I needed a 1-ton draglink to replace it. Never got the steering balance back right again. Solution will be a whole ['69 - '73] DANA 44 Front clip with power brakes, P/S standard and low ratio gearbox.
Anyway, -- to get over the sideslap from the Armstrong when that Beast ''came about'' I sheathed the spokes and circumferance of the wheel in 1/2'' black rubber foam ''Piping Insulation [DonkeyDick]'' and taped it all around with black friction tape.
With a padded Three Spoke, I was rockin' the turns like Steamboat Willie.
