Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
 

I saw in the August email newsletter from Brothers Trucks they are now offering 69-72 stock style steering wheels in 15" diameter. I think I'll have to try one. I like the idea of the stock look with a more manageable modern size.

If they made one for a '68 I would buy one..

I'd like to see pics of one installed.
Hard to beat a 3-spoke cushion grip wheel in these trucks.

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
 

I'd like to know if it is stronger than the full size repop. The main reason I've never gotten a repop steering wheel is because so many reviewers here have said how flimsy they are, that the metal band in the center is much smaller than the original.

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
 

This one should be more stout by the nature of it's smaller size. I think the first steering wheels made available were flimsy then better ones came out. I bought a flimsy one from LMC in '01. I think these are cool, but if I want a stock looking steering wheel I can handle the stock steering wheel. If I want smaller or custom I go to a car steering wheel. Who knows, might one day do a truck where such a wheel would be called for.

What's the price on these?

$269.99

Ouch!

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
 

I like it, it's pricey but with power steering, a quick ratio box, a new thick seat foam, it might be just the ticket .

Maybe you can take the sacrificial plunge and report back? Lol. I’m sure eventually we’ll see an honest review posted. I went with the “comfort grip” but may want to switch to this newer option. The stock look is my favorite.

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
 

I may just do that, but a driving review would still be a bit down the road seeing it's not running yet !

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
 

The more I think about it the more I like it. Yesterday I was installing seat belts and sitting behind the wheel I believe if it was a couple inches smaller it would be a better fit with the new seat foam. I love the original wheel, but it's just too big.

Anybody else think this way, or have a different opinion?

I've thought for years that a smaller stock wheel would be ideal in our trucks. I've had my Le Carra since 2006 and on 2 trucks now and was figuring on getting one of the cushion grip ones but now I dont know.

I've seen other vendors are offering these. Ask your favorite vendor

I held one in my hands last week and was sold immediately......

They are very firm not flimsy as the larger wheel. I should have mine on Wednesday of this week cant wait Christmas in August for me to me.......I can report back once installed and put some road miles on it.

That’s great To hear. I can’t wait for mine to arrive.

Please post follow up pics of your 15" wheels and your reviews. Glad somebody finally made a wheel like this.

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
 

I wish they would have more color options. They seem to think these are the only colors that people are interested in but mine was a 1970 gold but I guess it is too rare to reproduce.

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
 

Mine should be here Friday ! :bann:

Re: Brothers Trucks is now offering 15" stock style steering wheels
 

I got mine from Tom also.....It will go into the motor-home.....Very nice and solid reproduction.
