I've been trying to figure out what steering wheel would look and feel good. So this morning I took the wheel out of my 67 Vette and put it in my truck.

Kinda blew me away it looked so good. When I build the seat foam back up to normal I'll be closer to the wheel so I think this size wheel is still a little too big (D=16, Offset = 5 1/2) so I'm considering a slightly smaller Grant wheel (D = 14 1/2, Offset (with Vette hub) = 4 1/2). The stock wheel is D = 17, Offset = 5.

This one in dark mahogany

or this one in light walnut

I'm gonna drive it around with the Vette wheel on for a few days and see how it feels.
