SMALL DIAMETER STEERING WHEEL?

[Ray Bolden]

I recently upgraded my 68 Road Runner with a new Borgeson power steering box. I'm now finding that the stock 16" steering wheel is a little cumbersome so I would like to change over to a smaller diameter steering wheel. I'd also like to keep the wheel looking as close to stock as possible but haven't found any vendors who market a smaller diameter stock appearing wheel. Has anyone here dealt with this change or have any recommendations as to who might supply a smaller wheel?

I have a Grant (#338) in the box, unused. You can have it for half price if you're interested.

original or a reproduction Mopar Tuff Wheel Steering Wheel (15 inch). The tuff wheel was found on many A-Body, B-Body and E-body cars. You will have to buy the adapter to.

Thank you for your offer. However, my first effort will be to try to find something that looks like the factory wheel. If that isn't possible, then I'll consider other options. Thanks again.

Be sure to measure so the wheel doesn't cover the speedometer.

Advertised measurements of aftermarket wheels tend to be pretty loose as well.

Other than the classic "The 500" period day 2 style, you may be in for a long search.

Maybe a wood grain is available in a smaller diameter?

I often wondered why someone didnt make these. I guess after all the R+D investment it is still a small market. I think a 1969 style 90% sized woodgrain 3 spoke wheel would sell.

I agree with you. I was hoping that perhaps a company might have reproduced a duplicate of the stock factory wheel, only being smaller in diameter. I also have some tri-five Chevies and such wheels are available for those. Thank you for your input.
