I'm gonna go home and measure the center -to-center spacing on and old steering wheel and build one.
Any chance you would be selling your dually?

The critical thing on the puller is to build it as narrow as the two bolts will allow. These thick padded wheels like the one on this truck require the puller to fit down inside the center well of the wheel. You've got to make it narrow. Not so much for earlier wheels, but you might as well build it to fit all wheels. To my knowledge, the bolt spacing is the same on all GM wheels. I've pulled everything from 1954 to 1994 model steering wheels with it. Notice the slack in the bolts and the locknuts. That allows the bolts to be free spinning inside of the steel plate.
I'd sell the dually, but its a moot point I guess. With the money I have into it, I'd likely be out of line on my asking price. You guys know what kind of money I invested in the build, but your typical buyer sees flaky paint and bad interior and would classify me as a crack head on my price.
