  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Many of our Buicks had a bat wing style steering wheel, usually in black plastic. This is from a mid 80's Oldsmobile. I liked it because it was a brushed steel bat wing instead of plastic.

    Got the new wheel for my birthday yesterday and swapped it on. Must say, I highly recommend Forever Sharp wheels! This thing is top notch, and you can't beat it for the money.

    A lot of these aftermarket steering wheels require an adapter. On top of that, the wheels have 3 to 4" of dish. Does that put them closer to the driver than the OEM wheel?

    I was going to post in your other thread, but since we're here: It depends. I've got 15" Mooneyes 3 spoke wheels like what you want but not in woodgrain in my F100 and Caddy like these: https://www.mooneyesusa.com/15-inch-Metal-Flake-Slotted-3-Spoke-Steering-Wheel-p/gs270cm.htm . The adapters are only 1/2" or so deep. The wheels are set just where I want them, and have a 3.5" dish on those. I bought my older brother a Grant like this one for his '74 Powerwagon and he loves it:http://www.grantproducts.com/products/view/110/ . Grant makes some that they specifically list for "classic GM" and I bet the dish is close to stock. Unfortunately, you're not going to know what you like until you get it and get it on, but I can tell you this: You'll get used to it if it looks good.
