Custom Cab Steering wheel question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sigshooter · 11-05-2011, 12:09 AM

I have a few custom cab wheels, but one is different than the others.... I think it is off a 62 custom cab. Does anyone know for sure what the second wheel is? The first I beleive is a 1966, Also what were the different styles between years.

I am not sure, but I did pull one from a 63 custom cab just like the second one, along with the cab sails, aluminum grill, and windshield trim.

I'll give you $30.00 plus shipping for the 62's horn ring and cap if they arent broken!

vin63:
Yes, the 1966 Chevy truck deluxe option used a 1966-1967 Chevy II (non SS) steering wheel (it was also used for the 1965, but mostly listed as 1966-67).

The previous years deluxe option used the 1960-61 Bel Air steering wheel (also used on 1959 El Camino).
It was also used on another model, but had a full horn ring instead of the half ring...the model escapes me right now. I hope that helps. -Vince

From the internet:
The wheel pictured is correct for 59-60 Belair, Kingswood, Parkwood, and Elcamino.

The top one is a 1965 nova wheel.......Chevy made so many of those wheels they were left over and they put them on the 1966 trucks..........the bottom was was the delux wheel...
I have a few of both....

**Clyde65** · 11-05-2011, 04:07 PM

Hey Jacob, I believe GMC only offered the one style of steering wheel in our generation of GM truck.

sigshooter · 11-05-2011, 07:23 PM
