dan,
correct, it is a 55 belair wheel center grafted into a 15" corvair outer ring. the column is a stock 71 GMC. the wheel bolts right on, no problem. i've got pics of the "wheel surgery" if anyone is interested in doing this. i have about $75 total in the wheel, sure beats $250 for the downsized repop!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

I like the wheel!

Heres my 71 lwb

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

By all means, lets see the photos of the process.

Maybe it should be its own thread though? I mean because if someone is later doing a search for "Steering Wheels Ideas" or some such, they would never find it in this thread. So put "Steering Wheel" in your thread title.

BTW, "downsized repop"? Who makes one? I assume it's a down size of the Belair wheel you're talking about not a down size of a '67-'72 truck wheel, right?

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

dan,

i'll post up a thread later with the steering wheel pics. here is a link to the repop belair wheel pictured next to an 18" original. one thing i didn't like about the repop is the way they downsized the whole wheel to scale. being a custom car & bike builder, i'm very anal about lines & details & just didn't like the small center & horn ring. in person, it looked more like a toy to me.

check out the *note* on the link. $339 for a wheel listed as "fair" quality, not "show" quality ...

Looks like a very clean 50th anniversary truck. Nice to see it stayed in the family.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

That's a great looking truck! My grandpa's 68 that I had in high school had the same Mark IV under-dash A/C unit. I ended up getting rid of that A/C unit and now have a Vintage Air setup. That system blew so much colder than the new setup. If I were you I would NEVER get rid of that unit as I have never been able to find another one. If you do decide to get rid of it though, let me know! ;) If you can find a model number or something else that I might be able to use to search for one, I sure would appreciate it.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Man thats a beautiful truck, hope mine looks that good when done.
