I bought my "shortbed" from this guy. I probably don't have to say anymore.

**leddzepp** · 01-05-2012, 02:43 PM

Looks like a nice truck. Probably a bit high on the price, but you never know.

shawno72 · 01-05-2012, 02:58 PM

Can anyone tell what steering wheel is on that truck? That's exactly the kind I am looking for.

Cool, do you think it will bolt right on??

no moa · 01-05-2012, 03:19 PM

I would assume so, i do believe most GM wheels were the same spline, car or truck.

Those steering wheels are called "comfort grip" steering wheels. Search the board here and you'll find alot of info on them.

Thank you sdailey.

For something he claims is too nice to be a daily driver, the least he could've done was clean up a little under the hood.

You have good taste in steering wheels

Commonly known as a 3 spoke. They fit best to the column in the 67-72 trucks when you use an early 67 camaro hub.

Looks like the Grant 967 we are putting in the Chevelle... We just got done restoring the wheel, we puled it from a 67 C10 at the local scrapper...

The Grant install kit 3162 fits 60-69 C series as well as 67 - 68 Chevelles.
70-73 C series use Grant # 3163

As far as the truck on CL... at least he admits that its a cut down long box...this time.

I find 3 or 4 a year at the boneyard in buick skyhawks for about $15, then buy the early hub for $25 and a chevy cap for another $20 or so. I like to buy them bare like this one on ebay, then just add the early hub, and chevy cap. I haven't been to pomona swap meet in a while, but you can find used 69-75 corvette wheels (same wheel as buick) pretty cheap. The caps and hubs are available from muscle factory who use to be a vendor there.

Do you know if that grant wheel comes with a black or rubber ring?

Wood grain, oak or maple. And they have a black stained oak as well... They do have a " Classic GM " but its spendy... the underlined links will take you to their catalog...

Yep that a little spendy. I think black oak will do fine if I don't find anything at the yard. Thanks for letting me know.

Yea wish he would have last time 2. LOL, its my own damn fault.

**leddzepp** · 01-06-2012, 11:44 PM

He states that a SWB frame was swapped in...not cut down. If in doubt, crawl underneath and check it out.
