Costom Steering Wheel

Is is possible that my 66 C10 was shipped from the factory with a custom steering wheel for a 65 C10??

No, I do not feel the steering wheel was added. Although it is the 65 deluxe wheel. See attached picture of the build sheet.

Re: Costom Steering Wheel

Deluxe Steering Wheel was part of the Z62 Custom Appearance Group. We've seen parts carried over from one year to another and you'll have a early and late production series.

Paint 540, two tone, Turquoise Poly and Ivory-Off White.

I went to the forum post: Attn 66 owners looking for the 1st and last 66 built and gave him my Vin# and he told me the month it was built.

Re: Costom Steering Wheel

I think it's been added later, my December '65 had the '66 style wheel. Your's being a few months later should have definitely had a '66 wheel. The added tach that isn't original tells me that the truck has some parts that aren't factory installed.

I figured the tach was added as it is a Sun tach with a transmitter. I am just glad that it still works. Thanks for you input.
