I really didn't want to do this, but..........with the roll bar and the my seats being redone it's hard to get in the car. So I got a smaller one.

It looks good to me. The old one looked out of place.

I am a big fan of original steering wheels but the aftermarket wheel looks great!

It looks awesome, integrates with the rest of the interior perfectly!

Me too, it took me awhile to find those. Now the orginal one was really ugly I think.

Actually I was on Grant's site and was looking for a steering wheel for the Ramcharger and seen that blue one. I sent the image to my wife and she like "Get it!". I'm like ok, but........I do like how it looks.

That new steering wheel rocks! Where did you get something like that I have never seen one before!

I found that Grant sold it and then found cheaper from Summit. Those also have a bunch of different Mopar horn buttons too.

Sweet thanks for the info.
Mine is a "Jet" brand. There are 1000s out there. Different bolt patterns and adapters for all. Problem with some brands is the horn button. Just a matter of time before you find those switch parts in the seat. LOL
Took me 3 days to re engineer their switch and add the OEM glass Plymouth center to it.
To shorten the signal switch wand and/or change its angle requires a torch and a grinder. Thats some super hard steel they used in that thing.

How do you find the manual steering with the smaller wheel and less leverage?

Have to agree with everyone.. that wheel looks great! Really sets of the interior. I think it's a great improvement of the stocker you had

Any plans for the one you removed??
It looks better than the one on my 66 Cuda now.

I haven't drove it, but I did run it back and forth and yes it was harder just as I figured it would be. But I got pizza cutters on the front so that helps too. That was another reason why I didn't want to change it too. Oh, well.

Yours looks killer also. Who did you have chrome you adapter plate and the two top pieces of you column?

I'm not sure if I'm going to get rid of it or not, if so I would like to just trade for what I need. At the moment I would like to find a tunnel ram intake for a small block to turn into a six pack tunnel ram, for future use. Or BB truck parts, but.............................I'm not in any hurry to get rid of it either.

Hi Lee
Sure did, I liked the look of the Flaming Rivers column (I have there manual box) and had the extra parts salvaged from another column. I took the parts to a local chrome shop and they did it quick.
