everyone I've ever seen is a tiny wheel, and when the motor isn't running the power steering dosen't work... which turning a good size tire (most of the one's I encounter are on a lifted truck) just makes steering a pain. There cheap, look like crap, rust in a year or so, and are just no substitue for a origional factory wheel.

Ok. Gotcha, you can buy them in stainless and about the same size as stock too. Mine is just a tad smaller then stock.

I don't care for the 73-79 factory wheel so I went with a higher end grant in stainless. Eventually I'll swap in a 67-72 wheel, that's a nice factory wheel.

Well my truck isn't lifted, and I'm just running good ole 31.7's. My old steering wheel is gone beyond repair because someone yanked it off without the steering wheel puller (not me). The knee room for me is just at a premium. Now IG to solve this i can just find a tilt column and not worry about it anymore
