steering wheels

It seems more of you Dentside guys have changed steering wheels. I'm considering changing mine on my 1970 Crew. My truck has power steering and is 2wd. Do you like the way your power steering truck drives with a 15" or so wheel? My stock wheel is around 17" and a little more room between my legs and the wheel would be welcome.

A 15-incher is about right. It no longer feels like driving a bus.

Hopefully you don't end up with a pink furry zebra striped wheel

I changed mine out to a 15 3 spoke woth Ford logo in center and wouldn't consider going back. The extra leg room is great and I also agree that it no longer feels like your driving a darn bus.
