I lost the post I tried to poset earlier.

I got this "Marine Steering Wheel" and am pretty far away from my build right now...So I don't have access to the steering column.

Does anyone know if or how I can use this on one of our trucks? I wouldn't know where to start.

I appreciate the help.

good looking wheel. You might want to send pics and question to Ididit or flaming river and see what they say. Your irregular bolt pattern and small center will cause soe serious challenges

You'll need an adapter.The truck columns have a splined shaft.You could probably have one machined but you will still need to adress the horn.

Thanks. The dash I think I'm going to use has an extra hole that was used for ???. I think a small button would work there, as I really only use the horn in an emergency anyway. As long as the turn signals will return to the off position after a turn, I'll be okay with a non functioning horn ring.

The machining will be a search for someone who doesn't want an arm and a leg to do it. But that's where I'll start.

Thanks again.

you could buy an adapter that's already splined, then have it redrilled for the bolt pattern.

I'd imagine a steering mount kit from one of the automotive aftermarket wheel companies may be the same.I wouldn't be surprised if this maker used a common pattern or even had one of the automotive companies make theirs.If not,the wheel could possibly be redrilled or an adaptor.
