Well I have the same wheel and I hate it. For me it is to small and my fingers always hit the turn signal which became very annoying so I replaced it with a 3" by 1/4" bolt and solved that problem, but hey if you like it and it is funtional for you it does look awesome.

You need a 100mph speedo so your truck can go faster now...

When I ran that wheel, I just slightly bent the turn signal are back a little bit. Solved the hitting problem.

That'll do it!

I like your CB. Don't see many of those anymore.

I put a small wheel on my '73 once. It took awhile to get used to it, though. I couldn't get used to having to turn it more and ran into the mailbox several times at the driveway before I got the hang of it.

Looks Good!

I love the looks of the steering wheel. I've been wanting to get one myself but not until I replace my power steering oump as it's having issues and I need all the leverage I can get to turn my truck right now.

I never thought about the turn signal but LxMan had a good point, wouldn't take that much to bend it a bit so things will clear.

i have the grant three spoke one and really like it, it has a better offset to avoid hitting the turn signal. i like the looks of yours, but hated how i always hit it, so i switched.
