Re: Dug's 1959 Fleetside

Installed my new low budget steering wheel. I couldn't find an adapter that fits my Trailblazer column so I made one out of the old steering wheel. After cutting the middle out of the old steering wheel, I used my bench grinder to turn it into an adapter. Painted it matte black and attached it to the steering column spacer with the factory nut (that held the original wheel). I then drilled a hole through both the adapter and column spacer and installed a 10 mm nut and bolt. While I was in there, I soldered a wire for the horn onto the factory assembly.

I found a place to install my really loud set of horns. Installed them just behind the passenger headlight using a fender bolt. With the new steering wheel and horn button, the horn is now fully functional.
