In my truck. And which one would you buy. I love the stock one and do not love the later model ones, but I thought it would be nice to have something a little fancier.

WHich one?

Woodgrain would look out of place unless you went with woodgrain on the dash and doors.

Go with the black rim one. I actually like the wood rim better, but there's nothing else in the interior that would go well with it. I think the black one would look best.

Also, I'm not the biggest fan of aftermarket steering wheels, but if I was going to get one, that would be the style. I actually meant to get one for my '77, just haven't yet.

first one. I like wood but you do need more to pull it off.

I can agree with all of you. I've always said "When I get a classic truck I'll get one of those pretty wood steering wheels"! but it would be out of place

I like the wood one myself, in fact i have it in my truck right now! And yes, it does look different than the rest of the dash. But it also looks a hell of a lot better than the OE POS LOL Heres some pics hot off the press No the wheel isn't that crooked, I just have the wheels turned that much....

I like these too but I see what 1low is talking about. He's going for a certain look and that wheel is a bit modern for what he wants.

I had a wooden wheel similar to that in my '64 Elky way back when. Had to make a panic stop one day and my death grip on the wheel separated the spoke from the rim. The rim went towards the dashboard and the spoke tried to stab me in the chest. Not a fan of the wooden wheels after that.
