Post Your Steering Wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JimmyOzone · 10-10-2014, 10:16 PM

Hi Guys. I couldn't find this thread in our history or its really far back. Regardless,

I think it's a neat idea for a thread.

I don't have a pic of mine handy

I'll get one up ASAP. It's the stock green. It's cracked in a few places and whatever the

material in the center used to be is a shriveled shell of itself. No coming back I'm afraid.

I love it's thin style though and design

I've seen a whole bunch of great looking (and hopefully performing!

wheels in people's

profiles, etc. but let's see them side by sides.

I'll probably get a new wheel around the new year so any additional input is greatly appreciated. Style wise, I like the wood look, and I like em thin.

Can't wait to see those perfect circles.

Mine

JimmyOzone · 10-10-2014, 10:27 PM

cool and classic. is it original? how is she holding up if so?

**leddzepp** · 10-10-2014, 11:23 PM

Yes, it's an original 64/65 Chevelle wheel. It's held up great for the past 50 years

RocketKing · 10-10-2014, 11:45 PM

Wow really nice and you have a gorgeous truck.

I love the color scheme.

Yeah I feel more narrow of a steering wheel circumference would do me nice as well.

Awesome. Looks like a good site. thanks for the tip.

Anyone know some spots I can get my grubby paws on some in person before I buy?

**Already Gone** · 10-11-2014, 12:17 AM

I had this one on the 1972 Chevy I just sold, and I kept it and put on one from a 90's GMT400 truck.

**leddzepp** · 10-11-2014, 01:11 AM

Original wheel in my 68. Slightly worn paint on the rim, otherwise perfect condition. Sorry, iPhone flips pics

**leddzepp** · 10-11-2014, 01:20 AM

I like having a variety of steering wheels

All real fine character including that yella.

Variety is the spice that gives life its flavor! I like it spicy too!

I really dig this color scheme Deadhead. It fits the period nicely and has great natural appeal to the eyes.

thanks for linking your thread.
From what I've read it looks great and the wheel and your truck certainly do.
The thread will be a good reference for me when I'm replacing my wheel.
Your old one looks like mine now , cracked a bit different though

Its not wood, but these 67-68's are thin like ya like. Best look IMO.

. Easier to repair i would think, as there is no grain. The wood ones look good too though!!

JimmyOzone · 10-11-2014, 07:02 PM

I like the idea of multiple steering wheels:an original repop of the one I have and I wood grain wheel. Thanks for the pics.

Keep em comin'.

They are all beautiful.
