New steering wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Andy4639 · 10-14-2012, 08:59 PM

I bought this off E-Bay a couple of weeks ago. I plan to clean it up and paint it Red and silver. I need some help though!

It's Chevelle steering wheel but I know a lot of people have them in their trucks.

I need to findout where to buy a nice horn button for it. I need the interal's for it also. Any suggestions on where to get the stuff?
It has the terminals and wiring to the 2 prongs but nothing in the center is there as u can see in the picture.

I like the look of the chevelle stearing wheels.There is an 60's pontiac with a nice stearing wheel in a wrecking that im thinking about puting on my 72.

The E-bay add
Chevelle 1967 steering wheel ss deluxe original GM.

I ordered the SS horn cap and guts for the horn.
I hope to start working on it tomorrow when I wake up.

I plan to paint it red and silver, maybe just red are maybe just silver, just do it back black Heck I don't know can't make my mind up!
What do u guy's think?

big mike71 · 10-16-2012, 09:29 PM

Thanks,
I sure hope so. The only thing I'm worried about is the size of the wheel. Not the over all diameter but the thickness of the wheel. Reason being I have had carpal tunnel in both hands. I've had surgery on both. I like the thickness of the old Covette wheel, but I think this will look tons better. I may try and do something to this wheel to help with it.

Andy4639 · 10-17-2012, 07:57 PM

Well I started sanding it and found out real quick that ant the way to getter done!
So I plan to take it to my buddies shop and have it beed blasted are buy some stripper to get all the old paint off.

Andy4639 · 10-22-2012, 07:03 PM

Well the buddies beep blaster wasn't working so I did the old paint remover and sanding. I think I got pretty good but still not 100% good with it. I think I may try and find a another beep blaster.
Had to get ready for work so I'll post pictures tomorrow I hope.

Andy4639 · 10-24-2012, 07:36 PM

Finished sanding it. I think.

shawno72 · 10-26-2012, 06:54 PM

Looks good and will look even better with paint

Thanks,
yea I think I'll buy the paint kit like I did for my metal cooler. They match the paint up and give u enough hardner to spray it with. It's exact match and it's comes with a sprayer like this.

shawno72 · 10-26-2012, 08:24 PM

Wow thats pretty cool.

Andy4639 · 10-26-2012, 08:36 PM

Yea I painted that cooler a year ago and it looks as good today as it did when I painted it. I think it's about $80.00 for a sprayer and the paint & hardner for those 2 colors though but well worth it for the end product.
Should be 1/2 that for just the red I hope.

Andy4639 · 10-27-2012, 08:39 PM

Well one coat of primmer is on and will sand it tomorrow maybe. I may wait until Monday I'm off then.

Andy4639 · 11-05-2012, 04:56 PM

Went and picked up the paint, hardner and clear today hope to have it painted by the weekend if the temperature stay's good outside.

Street Smart · 11-05-2012, 09:37 PM

I like the look of my 3 spoke `67 wheel. But like most, I wish it was smaller. Whats the diameter of the Chevelle wheel. It should look great when ur done.

I haven't measured it. I will have to do that tomorrow and post. I have a stock corvette wheel on now and it's maybe a inch are so bigger than it.

weever82 · 11-05-2012, 11:53 PM

Looking great! Can't wait to see it fit in the truck!
