smaller steering wheel

[JohnnyBM931A2]

Weird.. Is the wheel really that close to the door in your truck? Your truck must have a smaller cab than my M939 series truck. Or maybe a bigger steering wheel?

The cab of a 939 series is about 9" wider than the older trucks.

I'm down with the chain one. Fuzz dice between windshields panels.

You may want to go with a "Crown" air freshener with the chain wheel, and skip the fuzzy dice.

I wish there was a solution found after 5 pages of reading fun and laughing...

What I did was cut the back cushion off the back at the base where it bends in, then moved the shock mount upper stop mounted inside of seat back and up a couple of inches.Made a spacer to go under spring at the base. Fussed around with the steering column went toward the windshield 3 inches and up 2 inches. Once the back of the seat is cut out I was able to move the seat towards the rear 2 inches drilled new holes and mounted.
I use a patio seat cushion for a back rest helped quite a bit Im 6'2'' and just a tiny bit overweight [285]. plus arthritis this made a big difference. Also tuff getting boot on clutch pedal{ big dam feet] Cheated the shaft down a little over an inch but its better than before. My 3 cents!

I think thats more than 3 cents,..... more like a dollar
