Steering wheel in Aqua?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can anyone tell me where I could find a replacement steering wheel in aqua? I have looked all over and haven't been able to find one.

Thanks,

They are not reproduced, so you have to find one used if you want an original.

I'm having the same problem with my suburban.

yeah that's a tough one to solve - the odds of finding a decent one in that color are slim. If no luck with a good search and no luck with a wtb ad, you might consider finding a decent original (not an aftermarket) wheel in any color and get it painted, color matched to the column.

Alternative is to run a tilt column. The tilt column steering wheels were all black, and not color appointed to the interior.

I picked up a 67 or 68 aqua steering wheel for my 69 turquoise interior truck. There was a member on here selling a nice 69 turquoise steering wheel a couple or few years back.

You'd have more luck finding Jimmy Hoffa. I have an odd color interior in my old flatbed and would love to keep it but that means color matching everything. The dash pad, steering wheel, etc. you name it.

I have a newly restored black seat and NOS black steering wheel and just thought of throwing in the towel and going black. It would be so much easier but it would also be a compromise that I'm not sure that I'm ready to make and it doesn't sound like you are either.

Oddball colors on these trucks are how they came. To me they are special and worth saving. It's a lot more work but isn't anything worthwhile?

This is my odd color. I don't even know what it is. Might have been a special order. The steering wheel is the same color.
