I just couldn't take my old steering wheel any longer. So I ordered my self up a new one. I was going to put a Tuff wheel on, but that got a bit costly and hard to get. I went ahead and got a Grant (tuff wheel look a like (well kind of)). But as things go, it needed a little tweaking to get it to fit my truck just right (cause of the cruse control on my blinker shaft). I had to make the 1/2" piece closest to the back of the steering wheel (between the wheel, and the Grant install kit spacer with the multiple ribs) to space the wheel out a bit so my hand wouldn't keep hitting the blinker shaft end. I think I turned out OK.
Anyway, here's a few pics.

Looks good Mike!
I can't remember exactly what turn signal arm I used on my old Duallie with a wheel exactly like that only with oak but I think it was a Chevy van with cruise either way it was straighter than my original.

Finally got to take the truck out to see how I liked my 1/2" spacer modification. I LIKE IT! Feels soooooo good. One of the best things I've done so far.
I'll be driving it more now .
