Steering Wheels
Let's see some pics of the aftermarket steering wheels you guys are running in your square........Lost out on a sweet Grant Challenger wood one last night on Ebay. I may be just me but, a 13.5" wheel seems too small comapred to the 15.5" stocker??? My best to you and your families during this holiday season

Re: Steering Wheels
This is the Grant I had on my 82. Close to the same diameter as the stock wheel. It was simple and cheap. It had a real good feel to it.

Re: Steering Wheels
I have a 70s camaro wheel in my 76, a little smaller and sportier then the truck wheel. Those wood grant wheels are nice too I have one of those in my 85 buick regal, again only a little smaller then the stocker. pricey unless you can score one off ebay or something though.

Re: Steering Wheels
Here's the one that came with my truck when I bought it. I don't really know anything about it. It just seems really large. I'll probably swap it out for something smaller once I get my truck rolling.

Re: Steering Wheels
this truck still doesnt have tilt, so when i first got her going i swapped the factory big wheel for this 12" Bertini leather wheel that had been stashed away fro quite some time for my monte project. The company doesnt even exist anymore lol. but im a bodyman, and soon after putting it in a was so scared id completely @#$% up the leather that i took it out and replaced it with a 13" steering wheel from a buddies old speedboat, resembles a GT wheel but with more contoured foam. still using that pretty polished mount kit too for the boat wheel, kinda ashamed. that was the best nicest part of my truck, that steering wheel lol!

Re: Steering Wheels
I guess it all comes down to taste. Aftermarket for a custom look, stock for a stock look, or different year model for a unique look. I agree that 13" wheels are too small. The 14" we have is a pretty nice wheel for what we paid for it, and it goes along with the theme that we're going for.
Merry Christmas to all, and a happy New Year. Last edited by nbpro; 12-24-2010 at 10:54 PM. |

Re: Steering Wheels
I used to have this Grant woodgrain... I've since changed to a black, old school 3-spoke 10"... I'm contemplating a Mooneyes metallic green wheel next...
