Swapping out steering wheel

We're looking to put a smaller steering wheel in our 66 F250. The one that 's on it has some pretty big cracks in it where the spokes connect to the center. Currently looking at Grant wheels.

What adapter kit should we use?
Thanks

Don't go too small. If you haven't gone to power steering you may regret the smaller wheel pretty quickly.

We have power steering, thankfully.

I was looking at ones in the 13 to 14 inch range. Our steering column comes pretty far into the space for the driver and with that 16" wheel (with the 4" dish?) it makes me a little claustrophobic.
I measured the wheels in our other cars to get an idea of the difference in size.


And putting a smaller wheel on is cheaper than getting a new column or shortening the current one.

Nice but hubby was thinking of wood/wood-look.

I was asking about the adapter kit because some don't say what years they'll fit and others say they fit from 67 til now.

Thanks
