Here is something I have been thinking about, probably way too soon but its still something that will need to be addressed in my build.
Those of you that have done steering upgrades, or engine upgrades and drive your trucks at a little more speed, what have you done steering wheel and Steering column wise? I can't really decide if I just want to go with an aftermarket Column, or if I want to try and recreate the original column look and go with a large original steering wheel... Obviously an aftermarket Column will be better for long trips with a touch more adjustability but at the same time I haven't decided how much modification I want to do to the interior of this thing. It already has Vintage A/C stuffed into it, so that will stay, but at the same time I am trying to keep the appearance of the truck as close to stock as I can, and the more I have it, and the more I hang around the stock rebuild guys, the less I want to "change" things. My question is, by running a large diameter steering wheel, is it going to be a burden to drive? I was planning cross over steering of some sort and relocating the box and running a power box with an additional assist ram.
Thoughts?
