I just put a Grant wheel in the 77 I am fixing up for my dad, and it is really nice. It is walnut with a brushed aluminum center, and my only complaint is that it is a little smaller than stock. Very good quality, easy to install, and does wonders for the interior. You won't be disappointed. Check Summit Racing for a good selection, though I got mine at an auto parts store.
i would spent the extra cash and get a stock replacement. some grant models can reach up to and more than 150 bucks, but i think you can get a stock replacement for 200 flat.
i like the stock too much myself but a lot of my buddies have got a chrome plated, punched steep with rubber hand grip replacement at wal*mart that looks real good.
I just installed a steering wheel yesterday. I got it from Auto Zone for $24.95 and had to get the adapter kit for $15.85.
It looks nice and drives good. It is a little smaller than my origional wheel, but it doesn't make the truck drive different. The only complaint is I have to move a little to see all of my gauges.
I got a Grant wheel for my '73. I went all the way down to '14. I'm 6'3", and it's easier for me to get in and out with the smaller wheel. It seems to be of good quality, and I can see all the guages just fine. It is a four spoke with a polished center and thick black rim. It was about $130 with the hub adapter. I hope you have a steering wheel puller!
TC,
AutoKrafters can refurbish your factory whell for about $225. They claim its beautiful. I've never seen one or have I? I'll be paying them soon for my 76. The NOS 76 wheel is no longer available and the later wheels are distictly different. I insist on factory but, some people have standards, other drive chevys.
Good luck, Have Fun,
KingFisher
If anybody is interested I just pulled the factory wheel from my '78 f100 and would sell it if anybody could give me a fair price.I really don't know what they would be worth.Great shape but the truck did not come with cruise.
