Steering wheel size?

[Dafey]

I also have a Grant 13 1/2 inch diameter. It handles great in the garage!!
I haven't had a chance to try it outside yet.

How much was that? How does it feel,good grip?

I saw someone here running a cavalier steering wheel. It's on the smaller side if thats what you're looking for. Didnt look too bad.

I like the cavalier steering wheels also, they generally go for about $50 on ebay. I picked one up at a swap meet for $25. I think they also came on monte carlos but not sure. here is a pic.

Yeah

I still run a stock wheel and I'm happy with my gigantic steering wheel

It was just over a hundred with the install kit. I think wheel was like 82 bucks. I like the feel of it, a little spongy on the grip but still firm. I like the 4 spoke type more than some of the other types I have seen.

It was just over a hundred with the install kid. .

Cool,did the kid know what he was doing though? Did he clean up his mess? I hate when some one works on my truck and leaves greasy finger prints or muddy foot prints...

NO leave it alone...It was funny , and we all need a laugh the way life is nowdays.

Nice, child labor for installation.

Also....I think the smaller the steering wheel, the easier it is to drive with handcuffs.

The new style are like 14-15" perfect size. I dont like when they are too narrow. (around the grip size and in diameter)

I run a 14 inch grant wheel. I dont like small wheels and would have went with a factory style just because I like them but a buddy of mine had a $150 grant with I think a cherry wood grip and wanted a smaller one so I bought a cheap one and traded him.

My only beef with the 70's ones is that they're too skinny for my old arthritic fingers (I'm 38 ) The diameter is right on.

I put one of those Kragen foam rubber pads on them, and voila, they're soft, thick enough, and I love 'em.

I had one of the later style ones in a 1990 Burb (go figure!) ... and it was too thick, IMO, and wasn't real comfy on the hands. [I don't want to say "it was too thick and too hard" in this crowd ]
