    Does anyone make a 15" 40 Ford steering wheel that will go onto a 40 collumm without adaptors? Been gaining some weight and might have to go to a smaller wheel--couldnt be from junk food and beer----right?:eek:

    Stock is 17"
    Limeworks does a 16" for stock columns.

    The 15" I have is designed for GM columns,and it will bolt onto a stock column
    tapered and keyed shaft.But you will need to shorten the stock outer tube..

    I'll put up some pic's...

    Ha ha,you're modifying your hot rod to compensate for weight gain?Next,you'll be riding around on one of those silly electric scooter things at the grocery store.;)

    I’m not sure what will burn more calories

    1 Eating less and movin around a little
    2 Changin the "collumm" in your car.

    I bet you know what you need to do.

    So what U R saying is that your 15" wheel will fit a GM column and also an early ford columm? Is that right?
