New Steering wheel ?

[EvilLex03]

Just wondering if anybody has put an aftermarket Steering wheel on there path ? I was thinking about getting one of those GT Wheels, But im not sure if it would be to small and look funny.

 

Thanks,

I put one of those GT steering wheels on. It was smaller but didn't look funny in my opinion. I thought it looked good. I had the black on silver. It was thicker than the stock wheel which I liked.

 

When I Sas'd and used a Saginaw steering box, it was taking me what seemed like a 1000 revolutions to turn. That was ok, but backing down a very steep cutline with errosion ruts and rocks, it was dangerous as I couldn't keep the front end straight. Bouncing around hard downhill backwards usually meant stalling...which means no brakes and no steering, so I switched back to the stock steering wheel which gives me a fighting chance to keep the nose straight and not roll.

I put one in both of mine, I hate the skinny little stock wheel. I have large hands and like the thicker grip on GT style wheels.

I put a smaller APC wheel on because my stock one was all jacked up and falling apart. I don't know about other areas, but the VA safety inspection limits the diameter of replacement steering wheels. I didn't have a problem, but you never know...

Most aftermarket wheels are large enough. Unless you go to Jegs and buy a Drag Wheel.

I don't have a pic of it installed. I went to one of the local auto parts stores.

Grant GT wheel $57, Install kit $25; got the wheel at Autozone, and the install kit at PepBoys (neither of which carry Grant wheels anymore). I put a "Pilot" brand wheel in my 88 that I also got at Autozone for $30.

Most of them are black, or black and chrome (the cheap ones anyway).
