Grant 832.
Reasons: Looks OK, is "inexpensive", adapter kit is "inexpensive", 3.5" deep dish moves the steering wheel toward the dash about an inch. Available on Amazon and Ebay http://grantproducts.com/products/view/83/ You have to download their catalog to get the diameters, dish depths and other models available. |

Re: What Small Steering Wheel You Using?
Not sure what you mean by "flat bottom"... I have a Lecarra 43201 14" wheel on a flaming River tilt column.. The wheel is dished only about one inch, and the adaptor hub places the wheel 2 1/2 inches above the top lip of the column.

The steering wheel looks like the letter "D" laying on it's side, flat line down. |

Re: What Small Steering Wheel You Using?
I used a wheel out of a 1986 Chevy Z24 Cavalier. Bolted right on and the original GMC horn cap snapped on. I even used the Cavalier 6cyl tach.

In your opinion do you think a 13" or 13.5" wheel would be a problem? Thanks! |

Mock up a cut circle of cardboard or something to test fit. Tilt column also is an option Get a wheel with little to no dish in it. When I got my 72 I had forgotten how fing small these cabs are Moving gas tank to under truck then allows the seat to be moved back a little |

Re: What Small Steering Wheel You Using?
This is the Grant I bought (poet 6), 14" 739 Elite GT. I did get a cheaper one before this but returned it as it just felt "thin" relative to the grip. I also prefer this horn button type as it is more precise than the "cap" type on the less expensive models. I have a similar wheel in my 67 Camaro also.

Re: What Small Steering Wheel You Using?
This is what I put on my 72 C20 . I like the look and was similar to what was on muscle cars from the era.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/355518067703 Those come in several colors, but the saddle fit my interior. |

Re: What Small Steering Wheel You Using?
I have this same wheel on my truck, comes from a 88-92 truck. It is a very nice size and looks like it came on the truck.
