I was wondering how many here have swapped wheels and to what? The steering wheel in my 83 might be the ugliest thing I have seen and Im currently looking for a nice SVO/GT wheel of that era.
Would not be apposed to an aftermarket wheel if there is a nice looking direct swap out there too.
I have the GT/SVO style wheel in my bird. I had to delete cruise control, but no big deal there. I have always liked this style wheel.
yeah I have one in my 88 Ranger too which lead me to look for one for my new TC.
I went from the stock LX wheel to a 87-88 Turbo Coupe one and it made a big difference in feel.
I put a TC/XR-7 wheel in my '85 Cougar. Better looking and far more comfortable than the skinny-rimmed stocker. I've replaced the T-Bird center with a Cougar head one since this picture was taken.

An 83 TC needs this steering wheel...

I went this route. I like it as the adapter brings the wheel about 2" closer.
What wheel is that Chuck? I think im just going rob the 86 Mustang wheel off the race truck for now.
It's the optional wheel used on 83-84 TC's and '84 XR-7's. Non-cruise control.
I have a grant gt....on a quick release hub.
Found an older pic with an 88 Mustang wheel.
