Steering Wheels

Well this might be a stupid question but figured I would ask the people who daily drive theirs more than I have got to mine.

I am about to have my 66 back on the road but the original wheels is very large but on top of that it's got multiple large cracks and the center cap does not stay on.

Any recommendations on what would be a good wheel to go with on these trucks?

Thanks!
Mike

I would stay with the larger diameter wheel...more leverage turning and parallel parking and so on...decent wheel with slight cracks are an easy find...they are the same up to 72 in the trucks and I believe 63 or 4 in the Falcon/Comets....
gangstakr...nice 'wheel', but what about when it comes back when completing turns...those points look like a definate wrist wrecker to me...its cool looking though definately

New correct steering wheels are repoped from the ford tooling. Dennis Carpenter makes them and are resold by all.
