Okay, let me start by declaring this a "I am bored Wednesday" topic. So can anyone converse on the pros and cons of using non-conventional steering wheels in your rides. I am looking for something different, than the standard factory steering wheel that came with my 66' C10 or the standard "Grant-Style" aftermarket wheels.. I have seen some cool old tractor steering wheels, old speed boat wheels and the old fashioned butter-fly dragster/go cart style wheels. Any one using ony of these types?
Here's one I'm using now...like to use old sprint car wheels on my hotrods though...How about one of those weird 60's Olds wheels in a later pickup?
If it for show car only,ya can play games with wired things,but if your going to drive it a lot just do a round wheel you like!
I'm using a '40 Chevy Deluxe "Spinner" wheel in my '37 hot rod farm truck. I still need to fab up some trim for it since the repop trim from Chevs of the 40's is to rich for my billfold. I don't use the spinner much but it has big conversation value at the fat-chewing sessions of the local cruise-ins.
Love that 40 chevy accessory spinner wheel. Wish they were more yrs available. Lookin for one myself. Anyone with an extra or wall hanger pm me. I'd settle for a "rebuilder" with some character.
