Re: Steering wheel choices

I don't intend to offend anyone, but I find it comical when I see guys talk about the original steering wheels as being too big or referring to them as school bus or semi truck wheels. The 17" are just how it is in these trucks and school bus wheels are even bigger. I don't know anyone's age, but to me it shows how much younger many of you are. You obviously started driving once everything had power steering and steering wheels became smaller. It's the same as when guys come to these trucks and are afraid the truck will blow up if they drive 65-70 mph because they rev 2,500 to 3,000. Those guys obviously started driving once overdrive had become the standard. I've driven cross-country and back in these trucks at whatever speed suited me, school bus wheel and all
