Replacement Steering Wheel

[txtruk15]

Hi, I'd like to replace the 13" steering wheel I have witha 15" - the steering wheel just doesn't seem to feel right with the 37" tires and lift I have on this newly acquired '70. I was thinking of going with a Grant (part #1770) but am not sure what I need to make this work. I will say I'd like to actually have the horn work by pushing the center button instead of on a switch on the dash (which is where it is right now)! Here's what I have, and I'm also not sure if the steering column is stock or an aftermarket...I emailed Grant and they think standard installation kit #3249 will work best...

wheel I'd like to install:

what I have now (seems like an inelegant solution):

That's a stock column. The grant Install kit should work fine. I have the same wheel in my truck.

awesome - did you wire the horn up to the button on the wheel? Also, what did you use for the hub?

thanks!

The Grant wheel you have now is on the wrong installation kit thus the larger diameter than the shift collar. It looks like a '78-'79 kit. The proposed GT wheel will need a new install kit anyway so that will take care of itself. The install kit should include a horn button.
