Hello yall!

 

I've have emails out to Jegs, Summit, Grant and NRG among the main places who the components or whole setup. I'm sure someone has done this, but I can't seem to find clearcut answers. Trying to see if anyone here has done what I am trying to do.

 

I want to install a race-car like setup with detachable steering wheel. Which from what i see, I would need a short hub, quick release and of course the wheel.

 

What I can't seem to find is a dead set answer on what the fitment options are for our 73-87s. I have come across setup options that are very broad and don't really give me an sure fire answer.

.

Has anyone attempted this? Doesn't SEEM like a difficult job, but attaining the info to choose the right thing is. For me at least.

 

Grant offers this $239 No Wheel No Steal Vehicle Security System : http://www.grantproducts.com/products/view/219/ which is basically what I want.

 

Can anyone shed any light on this? Anyone done this themselves?

No clue. I have only added a billet/leather LeCarra in the past. Had to change the horn spring and contact. 

 

Did you make anymore headway on this MOD???

@bad bowtie2 Not yet. I've been buying parts for a year, shipping them where the truck is at. So, once I get down there I'll have a lot of updates on not only the steering wheel install, but also, a front end rebuild, new brake and fuel lines, inline electric fuel pump/regulator/cell and last but not least, new rims/tires.

 

Trying to have her here(Philly) before it gets cold. I'm not walking another f'n winter here. I walked all 2022 winter, '23 i biked. 24? No sir. God willing, I'll be pushing my baby again this fall...

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
