sick. well let me know how it goes. idk why I haven't just ordered that momo hub yet. It's like less than 90 bucks IIRC

Yeah $84.....more that likely because all that's available in 6 bolt steering wheels are less than desirable tuner steering wheels

I've searched high and low and none floated my boat, but to each their own.....it was such a relief to find the small 6-9 bolt adapter

Well first of two parts of the steering wheel adapter finally arrived.....good lookin' piece

Twinturbostroker · Dec 18, 2013

And just got the most important piece(pretty stout too)......hopefully test fit it tonight to see if this is actually gonna work

I've looked into updating my 05 wheel an everything I have found states that the splines are different.

Josh@DirtyDiesels · Dec 18, 2013

Yes! I hope it works because if it does I'll be ordering one

I've read all kinds of things on this......there has to be a way, I've seen to many F150s in Truckin with custom steering wheels for something not to work.....

Busy morning sorry.........here are the photos

The flat worm looking thing you can see hanging out is the wiring harness for the steering wheel controls......I'm gonna have to figure out something to do with that, as I want to still use my cruise control functions, but I'll deal with that when I get there

After I got everything back together, I noticed the hub sticks out as far, if not farther then the stock steering wheel.....

....and with the Lecarra adapter and steering wheel still to go, its gonna be a lot closer to me, so I dropped it off at a buddy's machine shop and he's gonna take about 2" out of the momo hub for me, I'll post that when its done......now its time to make a decision on a steering wheel

For the cruise control on mine I was planning on mounting it in the dash somewhere. I'm guessing you have the wheel with just cruise and not stereo and ac controls right? That setup might be harder to mount in the dash... either way I would put it somewhere that isn't on the steering wheel... that will look like bawlllzz

No my steering wheel has them all, but the radio controls don't work with the Kenwood headunit, plus it has a remote control I use any way. I hard ever use the temp and fan controls. As far the cruise control buttons, there is a perfect spot to put it on the dash right next to the pedal adjust button......gonna have to see how good my dremel skiiiilllzzzz are :naughty:

Damn lol great minds think alike. I looked at mine today when I jumped in and that was exactly the spot I had in mind months ago when I thought about doing this.

I had my leather wheel recovered when I did my seats. Dallas steering wheel matched my 2 tone leather seats and the cost was $325 shipped.
