http://www.lecarra.com/aspen.shtml not sure on price. But some of lecarra's stuff looks better than cheap *** looking grant ones(those things drive me crazy). Steering wheel is often what "sets the tone" on the entire upholstry. Ok, enough of my rantings. -4speed

LOL... I have a Billet Specialties "Banjo Style" with burlwood insert! You could check out the websites recommended above or just go to Pep Boys (or similar in Canada) and pick up something off the shelf. Or, just buy a plain tan faux leather wrap and put that on your steering wheel. That'd work, too and it'd be a lot less expensive.

LeCarra has a wide selection of aftermarket steering wheels, too.

I have a "cheap @#$" Grant wheel also that I bought for a good price on Ebay. So far, about 2K miles and a trip to Atlanta and back from Nashville, TN about 500 mile roundtrip no problems but it is whatever your building budget can afford and your personal taste. Both GM and Ford had some nice steering wheels back in the pre air bag days

I just installed the Lacarra 4 spoke with black leather cover. Each spoke has 2 slots running almost the whole length. The horn button is billet to match the steering wheel. It is the model that covers up the 9 hex screws that hold the wheel to the adapter. Total cost for the wheel, adapter, 1/8" spacer and horn button: $248 
Expensive yes, but I only cried once! Good luck, John

I've been looking at some of those cheap *** Grant steering wheels for my cheap *** old 48 F-3. Lecarras and Banjos are nice, but I don't want the steering wheel to be the most expensive item on my truck! What diameter wheel do you guys find works best? I was thinking in the range of 14-15 inches, but the smaller ones seem to be more plentiful (on Ebay)...

I have a Grant that is used but is in great shape (looks almost new.) It is the smaller version. Email me directly if interested. I can get you a model number so you can look it up on their website. I'd let it and the adapter go cheap. (Not sure if the adapter will work for you, so you might have to buy one. But, they make a ton of em). Good luck, John

Sorry fenders, I'll send you a picture. If the one I have hanging on the wall is too nice, just let me know and I'll messitup a bit before I sell it. LOL I hope somebody wants it because it means my garage will just be that much neater and they will have a good deal.. Also, I forgot to mention that the model# is 773 in their catalog, so I think you can look it up on the website to check it out. John

Joners,
At first I said to myself - Handsome Bob, now why don't that boy like Banjo steering wheels, their great lookin. But then I said,I'm glad you don't cause then our trucks won't look identical....but then I realised that your's will be on the road and possibly retired before mine even hits the road, so I guess it don't even matter.
Actually the only reason for this post is to wonder aloud about Grant making one in a small enough diameter to fit between 'fenders and the dash and chances of him actually finding such a small diameter in a used wheel. Must be one of those double A fuel models....
Later,
