How 'bout them steering wheels...
 
Post 'em up. The one that came in my shortbed isn't working for me. To ricey for my tastes. I'd like to replace it with a nice LeCarra or similar billet wheel.

It used to say "GT" in black but I repainted it :D it'll go well with the "Yukon GT" badging when I get ready to paint it in 4,000 years!

In my 78 I have a factory Chevy Cavallier wheel I got from the auto wrecker for $15. It wasnt my first choice because its a little too sporty for the truck, but it works. In my 1970, I just picked up a ForeverSharp billet wheel off Ebay. Its pretty darn nice for the price.

I have the same wheel in my 84, and it works real well and is easy to install. I bought mine through Yogi's, they seem to have a good price on them.

I hve an Ebay billet on right now...I'm gonna go period correct..As a guy who grew up with these trucks when they were new..But,no way could afford one as a teenager...A fad that was hot back then in this area anyway .Was a small diameter wheel. 8" or 10" ....Grant makes a cool lookin 11 1/2 "....I get bored, I'll swap back and forth.

Just picked up the Forever Sharp unit on eBay. It is a pretty snazzy wheel for the coin. Perfect for a daily.

I built this one for my 65 C10. I welded the chain up and then coated the whole thing with plastidip spray. Gonna put the suicide knob on it once it's in the truck.

i like different things myself but from a safety standpoint i would think you would have been better off cutting the center from a grant wheel with the 3 spokes and welded your chain to that???

I can see your point, but the spokes and center are 1/2" steel, and very over welded. If they break or bend in a smashup, the grant wouldn't have done any better for me. Thanks for the concern though! ;)

Mine is a Nardi made in italy. Found it at pic-a-part on an impala lowrider lucky it pulled off without a puller ( nut was even loose) The spokes were 24k gold plated which was peeling off so I sanded and polished the spokes. These retail in the $300+ range.
Total cost was $15 including the adapter! Still need a horn button

I like this. A lot. I had the same thing in mind when I get that far on my crew. The '69 Camaro comfort grip wheel is a little thin by today's standards.

Here is my steering wheel in my 83. Not sure what brand but I found it on ebay a few years ago at a steal so I snagged it up.
