I may go that route and backdate my '71 GMC Jimmy to a '68 style 3-spoke wheel, and also move the Wipers over to above the Lights switch, on the left. Choke over Manual Throttle on the right. I like the 3-spokes better.
Yours looks nice.
I hate Grant wheels.
PO had one on my Jimmy when I bought it in 1995. Sucker came off in my hands while in traffic one day. Lucky I was able to recover. But I got that stock 17'' 2-spoke wheel on ASAP. Once on, I was surprized at how much better it steered and handled, too. Can't beat OEM.
As long as it's original GM, I'd use a wheel like MAC71's, but only if I can't find me an OEM.
