Maybe I'm posting this in the wrong forum but this is where I live. Feel free to move it. On my 53 3100 I decided to go with a 57 to 60 Chevy truck steering wheel so I could get the nice self canceling turn signal switch that I could put my cruise control turn signal switch on. I also don't like the golf cart looking switch. I shortened my column and shaft to make up for the dished wheel. I have already restored a 57 wheel but now that I have EPAS Performance electric power steering I wanted a smaller wheel. I know it's not the right wheel for the truck but I still like the Chevy center. I bought another unrestored 57 wheel a couple of years ago for $20 and after a couple of days searching I found it. I live in rural northern Indiana. We don't have corporate junkyards around here but a lot of old 80ish acre yards. So with my cordless Sawzall and machete I headed out. I was just going to hack the ring off. I'm 67 and it was 95 degrees and humid. The bad news is the old vehicles are in the back but the good news it's in the shade of the woods. It amazed me how many steering wheels were missing. The owner agreed that people are after the turn signal mechs and just throw the wheel on the ground where it goes back to mother earth. Don't be that guy. After an hour and a half I found this one in the bed of an old truck. It's 15 1/2" and a Chrysler product. It was hard to find a small wheel that was plain and not larger diameter or padded. Maybe it will work out maybe it won't. By the time I got back to the yard office and ask him what I owed him he said "just take it you earned it". I notched the rods with a 1/4" burr and TIG welded them on. I sprayed some white primer on the wheel and it is nowhere near flat so let the blocking begin.
