I've got a 13" wheel, with no dish.

I will go measure my lecarra wheel later, but it is a inbetween size, and I love it.
It has about a inch or so of dish on it

I went with a Grant Signature 15" wheel, which has about 1" or so of dish. (See my gallery for the interior shot.) It's one of the larger diameter wheels in the Grant line, but is much smaller than the stocker. More importantly, it's not right up against my chest as the stock one felt.

Never cared for the tiny ones too much -- the have a kind of a "lowrider" look to me.

Not great pics of it, but the factory sport wheel for 78/79's.

I like it but wish I would have went more retro.

Also I found the right size blue oval FORD sticker and covered the horn button with it.

Yes Henry, they will go right on a stock column. The trick is finding one in good condition. They were available on several Ford model vehicles in the mid to late 1970's. I don't think there are repros made either. I have one in decent shape on my EB and have been looking for another better than mine. By the way, you can still get the horn button new ,but they run about $80.00 give or take a few dollars.

Thanks for the information. It is a great look and even better because it is a stock for part.

I looked at a few of these on eBay.

Although they will "fit" on the early Bronco as far as the steering shaft and horn button go, they're larger in diameter than the actual outside of the column.

It would all depend on how much that would bother you.

I just went back to a stock wheel after having had an aftermarket for a long time. Like the look of the big wheel and chrome horn button.

I like the sport wheel. Does it bolt right on to the stock column?

Henry

I went with a 79 bronc col, as they are easy to find from a man trans, so no col shifter to cover up with the T-18, 4 speed on the floor. Due to that, it bolts right on (in fact it came with the steer col that I grabbed from my buddy , two for one deal).

I won a bling steering wheel last year @ Gore which I may put on, but I really like the factory sport wheel.
