Re: 1969 GMC.. right off the farm

My father had a black Grant steering wheel hanging around that I grabbed, and ordered the correct Grant install kit.

Boy did the old steering wheel fight me coming off. I used a puller, but mangled a bunch of bolts getting it out. I let it sit a couple days with penetrating oil, then went back at it with the puller and grade 8 bolts, and then it came off.

I did a number on the threads of the steering shaft because I was rushing and frustrated.. and they looked like they had some previous damage from another removal/install.

Anyway, of course my 1/2-20 die is missing from my set, but I'm hoping to be able to clean up the threads and install a new nut. I did mock up the Grant wheel with the install kit and I'm very happy with how it looks. No pics yet

Getting excited to have a complete interior soon
