My new(old) Steering wheel.

I put a wheel off a '67 Nova on my '67 shorty and added a chrome bullet from Mooneyes. What do ya'll think?

It's edgy...

has an anti-airbag vibe to it...

Re: My new(old) Steering wheel.

I like the wheel, although I'm not sure about the bullet

Wait just one minute here. Are you guys telling me then that these truck came stock with airbags?

I seriously doubt that in a wreck bad enough, that cone will matter much. If anything it will lessen the carnage and help the steering column to penetrate my chest cavity easier.

Re: My new(old) Steering wheel.

ooohhhh somebody post a pic of that poor fellas truck that was "head on'd" last year - the blue one with the hood untouched but the bumber against the fire wall...
NOT to rap on someones build by ANY means but just so we can see it when we think about taking a header... I think it looks cool but just wouldn't want to sit behind it... 'cept maybe at a show.
I'd also love to see beer flow out of the ashtray when moving the shifter through it's paces.

Re: My new(old) Steering wheel.

It looks cool, but can kill you in a crash,Id pop it off while driving and on while parked.

Re: My new(old) Steering wheel.

^^^^^^I agree with the above posts!!! It looks awesome but looks like it would really hurt in an accident. I would take it off while driving and put it back on when parked!!

Re: My new(old) Steering wheel.

Well. I'm a fan of the stock wheel myself. But, I like the wheel, it's something different. The bullet. Eh. Not huge on it, but if you like, roll it man.

And the PBR shift knob...hell. I'm in love with it! Haha. Props for that. Big time.

Re: My new(old) Steering wheel.

I like it. I'm jealous, cause my tap handle lasted all of one drive before it broke, though.

Re: My new(old) Steering wheel.

I like it, in fact I have been thinking of doing thesame thing although with a red moon metalflake wheel, the wife has promised me one for my birthday next week.

You have to grab it from underneath the handle, I did the same thing. I have to file it back square then drill and re-tap it.
