5 ton steering wheel on a deuce?

[shootiniron]

Anyone ever put a 5 ton steering wheel on the deuce?I've got an NOS one and was thinking about it to gain more space.My truck has the air assist.

 

[shootiniron]

Well I put it on.Works great with more room.

I have one for mine, just have not put it on. 2 inch less dia., 1 inch more belly room.

How much more room does it seem to give ya? Do ya think the wheel is enough smaller that it would be too hard to turn a deuce without air assist with the 5 ton wheel?

I thought I read that robar put one in that duce bobber he built a while ago.

Got one on mine, I will put up a picture tomorrow.More room to drive and steers just as well as the original.

Is this worth it? Are there other options that are a direct swap? I just installed an air o matic and would like a smaller steering wheel.

 

[shootiniron]

The 5 ton wheel is the way to go.You would'nt think that two inches would be much difference but it really is once you have installed it.

Who or where did you purchase from? Price?

Always looking for a good buy and I think you have a great idea.

Did you us a pulled of some kind?

 

[shootiniron]

Heavysteven,I think you are wondering if I used a puller.Yes,got it from Saturn.Well worth it.I got the wheel from a gentleman here,it was NOS and I was glad to get it.He was very fair on the price.It seems that the 5 ton steering wheels are harder to find than one for a deuce.

Well, I just nabbed a NOS 5 ton wheel off everyone's favorite auction site(ebay) for $40 so I will soon see. 18" in dia instaed of the 20" stock one.

I changed mine to the smaller wheel a while back.... and I could NOT be more happy with it !

 

[RavageRitual]

popz76 do you have air assist?

 

[popz76]

Nope, but I have no problem with steering and more belly room !

I bought one anticipating needing the room, but have been getting along fine with the deuce wheel.

mikeroot2, that looks the same as one I got last year off ebay. Said it was a 5 ton, but the spline is too small to fit on the deuce shaft. I hope you have better luck than I did. Same price as mine and it was a no return auction.
