    Found the steering wheel I am gonna use......it will require some custom work to make it fit but I like it. It is off older jeep cherokees mid 80s to early 90s ......I like the look.....worses case i will use the steering cloumn from the jeep if need be......I have been looking for a mint black one for about a year now......you can find them in every color but black!!!!!


    Sweet!!!

    not sure what center I am gonna use just yet.......I like em both

    in my pics you will see I have both centers. I got a brown one like u have that I plan on dying black. Like I said it isn't any swap so I doubt many will do this swap. I like it cuase it says performance/old school without being aftermarket and shiny!!!!!

    Your turn signal arm is probably going to hit it because it does not have a dish like the factory wheel.

    OK now I see the center. Looks good. I would have to assume it will fit. I had a 79 Camaro wheel on my old Mav for a bit. The old Cherokee is a GM column so the spline should fit.

    Promise to remove the Jeep logo and you've got my backing!

    I will remove the jeep emblem of course.

    and no the splines are not the same......I am leaning towards a column swap.....

    What is the diameter? This might look good on my 55. But I will be using the ford sport wheel on my mav

    I never measured it but its 14 to 15 inches.....


    I like the column swap more and more.......I can wire up the foot light switch(high to low beam) as the horn.

    btw the pics do not show it but it has a nice dish
