Identify this Steering Wheel
Anyone recognize this steering wheel and/or the make/model?

55 - 56 bel air that someone wrapped the rim with leather. looks to be a 15" version with a chrome center, speedway motors sells that version.

Re: Identify this Steering Wheel
The dish looks pretty deep. Most of the tri-5 trinket vendors sell the 56 wheel in various diameters. the center piece is usually painted rather than chrome though .
One example https://www.ecklers.com/catalogsearc...w=grid&start=0 |
Re: Identify this Steering Wheel
yeah the dish is how I knew it was the smaller diameter.
can we talk about how far that column is sticking out of the dash? for dinner tonight he probably feels like having steering wheel. |
Re: Identify this Steering Wheel
It's a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air steering wheel with a reduced diameter! Thanks all.

Re: Identify this Steering Wheel
57 was two spoke, your picture is three. and 57 had a dished center cap, your picture has a pointed cap. its 55-56 :metal:

Re: Identify this Steering Wheel
Dunno what it is but very,very nice. Unfortunately it looks like my gut to wheel distance means its not for me.
Funny how cab roof and wheel "move" with age. Roof gets higher, wheel gets closer |
Re: Identify this Steering Wheel
Latest Jonathan Ward ICON TR build, ‘Old School Edition’. Great stuff, beautiful truck.
See the youtube where Jonathan describes the wheel as ’Tri-Five’ reproduction, reduced diameter, leather wrapped. |
Re: Identify this Steering Wheel
I don't know squat about tri-5's but the seat looks low to me. How you see over the blower?

It looks a lot like mine which is a 16" Tri-5 wheel. It has also been leather wrapped (post these pictures) and we cut off the top horn ring loop to have an unobstructed view of the gauges.

Re: Identify this Steering Wheel
I just noticed... That's an ICON truck. So that is definitely a Tri-5 wheel.
