    I'm looking to replace my stock wheel because not only is it cracked but I want a nicer looking wheel and hub. In looking for wheels I see there seem to be standard sizes of 13 1/2" & 15" with dish depths of 2" to 4" (and in between). (I only started looking.)

    How are the wheels measured? Inside or outside dimensions? Depth from bottom of rim to top of hub? Any suggestions for a good size to use? I would like a wood rim wheel, but its not mandatory.

    I have a horn hooked up to a separate button on the side of the column mount, so I don't care if the horn button works (but would be nice I suppose).

    Bump. I still am looking for a new steering wheel. Seems like I saw someone post the part number for a grant wheel hub kit, but can't find it with the search feature. Grant has a nice wooden one for not too much money, but I'm still not sure about the size (diameter and depth - the grant wheel I'm looking at is 15" in diameter and 4 1/8" dish - would this work on my '64 Econo?i).

    Any help would be appreciated!

    I know I posted the part number months ago. I will look around and see if I can find it.

    I forget exactly which but its either the Grant kit for a 67 Econoline or the one for a 69-74 that works. Either one will require a mod to make the horn work. There are posts about it at the oldeconolines site in the archives Im sure.
