Turbo53 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Does anyone know if the steering wheel can be easily swapped for a smaller hot rod grant unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 With enough money anything can be done. But keep in mind the reason for the large steering wheel is to give additional leverage with no power assisted steering. A steering wheel half the size will be twice as hard to turn.

ggdad1951 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 As one who has to muscle around a bigger truck...its more than 2x harder I'd bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBNeal Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Where there's a will, there's a way... also, the trick to turning is to keep moving, even if it's only at a snail's pace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Balazs Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 I don't know about the cars...and this appears to be a posting from the car side....but if you are using one of these trucks you often need all the wheel you can get. The big wheel just takes a bit of getting used to. But you do get used to it. I can only imagine how miserable a small diameter wheel would be in my truck.
