Finally, here's a picture from the driver's perspective through the mini-truck steering wheel. It gives me adequate line of sight to the instrument cluster, as well as the tach I will be fitting to the right side of the cluster.

Also, I took a picture of the seat clearance to the back of the cab - allowing 1" space, which gives me about the right amount of leg room. Obviously, in a 40 series, there is more room to slide back if necessary.

When I sit in place on the seat with the mini-truck wheel, the driving position feels good to me. I haven't yet a taken a serious look to see what other steering wheel options are out there. For more leg room under the wheel, a steering wheel out of a Toyota sedan, or perhaps some after market product, would always be an option.
