Anyone ever swapped steering wheels???

Hey there,

So after breaking a steering wheel puller just now, I decided to cut it off....which actually worked! so now, i need a steering wheel - wondering if anyone was used an aftermarket hub to mount a likewise aftermarket steering wheel?....are all dodges the same pattern? does anyone have one to recommend?

would this one work?: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/FOR-84-86-DO...Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ede808028&vxp=mtr

Originals are available from Mid West Military, or you could consider the Snake River 4x4 power steering option and use the Flaming River column. Original replacement is easiest.

Vintage Power Wagon has these for sale also.

Hi

Obvious, but possibly overlooked, without power steering a smaller diameter steering wheel will make it hard to turn. While driving on the road this probably will not be noticed, but off road it might be noticeable. Also remember to check the cross section of the steering wheel will it be comfortable to grip. There was a reason old big trucks had big steering wheels.

Just a tought.

Cheers Phil

Power steering will be a future ad on for sure!
As far as off roading, the truck certainly wont see any major rock crawling. I am not looking for a tiny steering wheel but one that is at least a bit smaller.
