I sure hope so. The only thing I'm worried about is the size of the wheel. Not the over all diameter but the thickness of the wheel. Reason being I have had carpal tunnel in both hands. I've had surgery on both. I like the thickness of the old Covette wheel, but I think this will look tons better. I may try and do something to this wheel to help with it.

Re: New steering wheel
Well the buddies beep blaster wasn't working so I did the old paint remover and sanding. I think I got pretty good but still not 100% good with it. I think I may try and find a another beep blaster.
Had to get ready for work so I'll post pictures tomorrow I hope.

Re: New steering wheel
Well I sanded it down and got all the crackes filled I think. Looks better than it did. Going to let it sit another day before I primmer it. I guess I'll use regular primmer on it. Anybody got any suggestions?
I got to looking at the horn insert (SS) emblem is just poped in there would be easy to put some kind of truck emblem in there I think if I can find one to fit. Here are a couple of pictures with new cap on it.
