That makes sense.....or the other half is on a shelf in the room next to it...

I got the lift complete and it is working great. Yes that is a 86 corvette that I cut in half and set on the ledge above my tool room. It was a flood car from hurricane Harvey that I got for $200.00

good bye sticky square body steering whee in the K1500 Burbl!!

it was actually still oozing in my hands when I pulled it out..

I figured I'd try one of the new repops from classic and it look, feels, and functions great!

whole job only took 2.5 beers :p

I have random puller parts n pieces but I went ahead and bought a new kit and turns out they sent a gearwrench brand that's very hardy

the horn button came with a broken tab but the nice folks there are going to send me a new one gratis

I have one thing to share that having owned a couple of square bodies and 67-72 as well as pulling a few columns and wheels, I did not have committed to memory that the white plastic spacer in the base of the wheel pocket is for the square body and not needed in the 67-72.. I struggled with that for a minute as the old wheel had one and the repop kits I bought also had one as they cover a wide model year range.. the spacer in 67-72 binds the wavy spring and no clicky-clicky.. anyways, figured it out and the horn.... blows!

It feels good and no flexing and feels solid?

[Killer Bee]

it is softer than an OE on the top and bottom.. but I didn't even notice until you mentioned it

both kids pulled themselves up hanging on the wheel and I didn't notice anything that way either..

the appearance, fit and function with regards to horn and signal switch underneath was what I was referring to..

also didn't notice anything steering it, with power steering tho so folks with manual boxes may notice it at low speeds..

so I compared it to the longhorn OE wheel and although it does flex a little top and bottom, the aftermarket is substantially more..



well either way I'll leave it in there until I find a decent OE wheel..

the blue one I have is a cracked mess and the decent OE black one I have is going in the K20 Burb that also has a sticky wheel..

On the sticky wheel problem get some "GOO-GONE" and wash the wheel with it. You may have to do it a couple of times. It fixed mine. Hardware store or Wally-World should have it, probably Lowes or Menards too.
