Steering Wheel

Is there any cheap steering wheels that will work on a dent? I'm wanting to put a 14" wheel on. New 15" is really high$$$. I tried a 13" grant and it was a little small looking inside the cab.Probably would look good in a small ranger.Thanks for the input.

Look on craigslist you might find a bigger grant that someone wants to rid of then all you have to do is buy a kit. I find smaller diameter wheels feel odd with the steering set up these old trucks have. I think there meant more for cars with shorter turn ration steering boxes

I put a 15-inch Formula GT by Grant in my 70 bump with PS. The PO never installed it and "threw it in" with the deal. The stock 17-incher made feel like I was driving a bus.

IMO, 15-inch diameter is just right...

You'll get used to it. I like the extra room under the wheel.
