My 73 Ford is in need of a new steering wheel. I really don't need to put an original one back in the truck (the one is cracked and the horn pad is worn but works). I am looking for a 15 or at the very smallest a 14 inch. Who has used what for a replacement?

 

13.5" but I have seen it used quite a bit around here...it's what I used simply because it was cheap, look alright, and available at auto zone. Grant Steering Wheels

 

I suggest a 15-inch Grant Formula GT... PN 1760 with installation kit no. 3285

 

Ignore the gross interior, just showing you what the steering wheel I suggested early looks like on my truck.

 

I'm a big fan of LeCarra steering wheels. My hands are somewhat large and I much prefer a thicker steering wheel. I've got them in four different vehicles and they're great.

Some aftermarket steering wheels are really "cheap"; both in quality and price. Often just a chrome steel frame (that rusts) with a foam covering.

LeCarra's are very high quality with an aluminum structure that's wrapped in leather. They offer many different styles.

LeCarra's are definitely not inexpensive. However you do find them on ebay frequently and you can send them back to LeCarra to have the leather replaced.
