I love my 3 spoke Grant Chrome wheel. The 15" would be the way to go. See my page for a pic of mine on the 72. The url is in my signature.

Well Guys,

I made my decision
I went with the Grant 832

with this horn button
Image

I just ordered them from Summit Racing...
I got the whole package deal from them for $75.24
Which is almost exactly what the wheel alone was going to be at Shuck's with WA state tax...
The horn button is on back order but is supposed to ship out separately on 3/22 the Wheel and install kit will go out tomorrow...

Thanks for your input guys...

Beautiful Truck--I could have bought that truck finished for less that what it will cost me to do mine over--but where's the fun in that?
Thanks for the link!! :thup:

:hj:

Sorry about the hijack--just looking for options on color combinations with Royal Maroon for my bump!

Yeah Pipes...

I liked it better than the plain one or the Ford oval...
When I posted the $111 cost at Shuck's it included that horn button...
I thought I needed to get one just to make the horn work...
All I really needed to get was the wheel and the install kit for it to work...
I really didn't need the horn button, but it is so cool I just had to get it.
Especially since the package deal from Summit was almost exactly what the wheel alone would have been at Shuck's.
I just got notice a few minutes ago that the wheel and install kit shipped out today. The horn button should ship out on 3/22.
Hopefully I'm not gonna have a problem with the install because of cutting off the the end of the steering shaft for the stock '68 3 spoke to fit the '71 shaft...
