Post Your Steering Wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JimmyOzone · 10-10-2014, 10:16 PM

Hi Guys. I couldn't find this thread in our history or its really far back. Regardless,

I think it's a neat idea for a thread.

I don't have a pic of mine handy

I'll get one up ASAP. It's the stock green. It's cracked in a few places and whatever the

material in the center used to be is a shriveled shell of itself. No coming back I'm afraid.

I love it's thin style though and design

I've seen a whole bunch of great looking (and hopefully performing!

wheels in people's

profiles, etc. but let's see them side by sides.

I'll probably get a new wheel around the new year so any additional input is greatly appreciated. Style wise, I like the wood look, and I like em thin.

Can't wait to see those perfect circles.

**leddzepp** · 10-10-2014, 10:21 PM

Mine

JimmyOzone · 10-10-2014, 10:27 PM

cool and classic. is it original? how is she holding up if so?

**leddzepp** · 10-10-2014, 11:23 PM

Yes, it's an original 64/65 Chevelle wheel. It's held up great for the past 50 years

RocketKing · 10-10-2014, 11:45 PM

Wow really nice and you have a gorgeous truck.

I love the color scheme.

Yeah I feel more narrow of a steering wheel circumference would do me nice as well.

Where is a good spot to get/see a variety of choices to purchase?

**Already Gone** · 10-11-2014, 12:17 AM

I had this one on the 1972 Chevy I just sold, and I kept it and put on one from a 90's GMT400 truck.

**leddzepp** · 10-11-2014, 01:11 AM

Original wheel in my 68. Slightly worn paint on the rim, otherwise perfect condition. Sorry, iPhone flips pics

**leddzepp** · 10-11-2014, 01:20 AM

I like having a variety of steering wheels

**DeadheadNM** · 10-11-2014, 01:28 AM

I really dig this color scheme Deadhead. It fits the period nicely and has great natural appeal to the eyes.

JimmyOzone · 10-11-2014, 09:40 AM

Here's mine.

Certain its from the original vehicle

thanks for linking your thread.
From what I've read it looks great and the wheel and your truck certainly do.
The thread will be a good reference for me when I'm replacing my wheel.
Your old one looks like mine now , cracked a bit different though

Its not wood, but these 67-68's are thin like ya like. Best look IMO.

. Easier to repair i would think, as there is no grain. The wood ones look good too though!!

outlaw 3454 · 10-11-2014, 06:31 PM

JimmyOzone · 10-11-2014, 07:02 PM

I like the idea of multiple steering wheels:an original repop of the one I have and I wood grain wheel. Thanks for the pics.

Keep em comin'.

They are all beautiful.

Andy4639 · 10-11-2014, 08:47 PM

67 Chevelle SS wheel I redid myself. I covered it in grey leather also.

The one before.

JimmyOzone · 10-11-2014, 09:01 PM

I love how you added your own touch to those Andy.

Your seats also look real good and comfy.

Real cool.
