It's called creative book keeping.

Does it steer the truck more precisely?
For two grand it ought to.

@Bhollier Where did you get those U.S.A. flag (Sticker?) you have on the door rocker panel?

My friend made them at his shop. You can find them on Amazon just like these as well.

Everything on the truck looks great but I have ask why didn't you make the bottom squared off like an actual d style steering wheel, cant say I have ever seen the squared off part at the top. D style steering wheels do serve a function as far as comfort and giving your legs a little extra leg room. Truck looks great!

We actually tried that with the first design. With the way the steering wheel is designed with the lower supports if was very difficult to make it look correct. Had an odd bend in the first prototype. I just made the decision to go with a flat top since we want to eventually incorporate LED's tied into the RPM gauge at the 12 o'clock position. We couldn't do this with the curve. The design we were going for is similar to what Ferrari has in their cars. Long story short, changing to bottom section of the wheel would have required a completed structure redesign including the airbag and controls. I wasn't wanting to go that route. Price would have been closer to $7k to do that.

No difference in the steering. Just added comfort and ascetics.

The attached video shows a nice D wheel at 1:07. I had 2 of these.
