I don't think a vintage type steering wheel would go very well with that style of street rod. I would go a more modern version and it doesn't have to be billet like a modern version of a banjo wheel.
I have a 46-48 wheel in my 60's style 34 Coupe.

Not very good pictures, but this is the 40 Ford style wheel in my Sons RPU. It is a 15 inch repop that came in black and we painted it white to match the other stuff on the car.

Take a look here at the LeCarra Mark X. At least you can easily buy adapters and accessories rather then try to find something that kinda fits.

I have a LeCarra Mark 9 with leather wrap, but since my car has a lot of billet.....

The world is full of choices. One old standby is the Wheel Shoppe banjo pictured below.
One I haven't used, but looks intrigueing is an outfit called Con2r: http://www.con2r.com/steering-wheels/ use the "design" links on this page and see all the ways you can personalize what they offer. Interesting concept.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Bob, is that really a PINK wheel cover? If it's yours, I hope Pops doesn't see it after all the trouble he was given over his "pink" frame.

Purple!!! It's Purple.........................
Yeah, that's my old car, but I sold it without upholstery. My guess is that's the effect of the flash. In person it looked the same color as the rest of the interior.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

Ididit Don, I guess I was really looking for web sites to go look at. Thanks Bob thats a pretty Kool site. I really like the stock wheels (so long they are 15 inch). @dmw56 thats not my car in my avatar, just one I found and like that is in the Dallas FortWorth area. @ itoldyouso You just cannot keep from liking the forty ford wheel must be the reason everyone has one, looks great on your car.

Oh sure, Bob, we believe you!
After all, you were so understanding when my pictures looked like they might be pink, why wouldn't I extend the same courtesy to you????????????
Looks like the guys caught you, didn't they??

Grant has come out with a new line of wheels,might check out their web page. Wheels are a personal thing, what works for one person won't work for another.

As a hobby I keep ten beehives. My queen bees are now getting older and slowing down, so I ordered ten more queens from an apiarist. They arrived, but there were eleven arrived in their containers....
