Steering Wheel

What steering wheel did you guys use with the stock column? I'm doing the Toyota power steering swap and want something small and that looks like it belongs. Problem is the Dish diamension. All seem to big.

Stock column? Does it sit too high?

I like that one but doesn't it require an adapter for a stock steering column?

Watch the size wheel you use, too small a wheel will make your truck look like a lowrider. Problem is most aftermarket wheels are for imports, i.e. 13" or so. I used a Grant 15" Banjo style wheel, but I am using an Ididit column. I don't know of any aftermarket wheel that will bolt directly to the stock column.
There are companies that will rebuild your stock wheel to a different size.
