Does anyone recognize this steering wheel? I’ve spent hours looking on the internet and have found nothing so far.
Thanks all

The view is also dependent on your personal dimensions so that is another factor to consider. Over time I have installed several different styles of wheel on my 1977 GMC, all of them successful to some degree whether it is a matter of number, size or placement of the spokes. My current wheel is from an ‘80s era GM van, possibly a GMC but not sure. It has a single spoke that is situated slightly below center so that the upper field of view is maximized. It is from an S-10 Chevy truck or Blazer, or a GMC S-15 truck. Diameters are what they are, I have never measured any of them.
