Where can I get a blue Comfort Grip wheel?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71Shortbed · 06-23-2006, 08:21 PM

I'm looking for a new 3 spoke Comfort Grip steering wheel and I can't find a blue one. I've seen the blue ones at shows. Does anybody know a vendor that sells them?

409biscayne · 06-23-2006, 08:47 PM

I just checked my catalogs , lots of black , didn't see any blue . I always find the blue ones at swap meets , usually with Buick center caps . Sorry i'm not much help , good luck .

Ebay. Blue will probably be one of the cheaper wheels to buy. Be careful on the color though.

71Shortbed · 06-23-2006, 09:13 PM

I've been checking ebay for the last several months and haven't seen a blue one. Must be a rare color.

This is a comfort grip wheel. They were options on some GM cars and have a stainless steel core visible around the side of the wheel.

409biscayne · 06-23-2006, 10:50 PM

Yep , that's what i run on my '68 . Black with a black corvette crossed flags center cap . I've used these wheels forever , they just suit our trucks , imo.
Later ......................................... 409.

clif1968 · 06-23-2006, 10:57 PM

I got mine from Summit, not blue though.
Does have a blue center cap.

1LoC10 · 06-24-2006, 12:25 AM

oh ok.. cool.. sorry I never heard of them till now.. have you tried the vintage car section on ebay?
http://motors.listings.ebay.com/Part...istingItemList
I know alot of people that never knew that was there..lol, what cars did they come on?

Livrat · 06-24-2006, 01:31 AM

The comfort grip wheels came on GM cars from the mid/late sixties till 1976.. Optional on Chevelles, Camaros, Elcaminos, standard on the Corvettes,
I have also found them in 75 -76 Buick Skyhawks (Buicks Vega) Buick Deltas, Chevrolet Monzas, Olds Omegas,Cutlass.
They came in Black, Red, Green, Tan, Blue, Walnut and Rosewood..

Black ones are availible new from any of the aftermarket restoration parts vendors..
There are 4 black ones on Evilbay..

The colored ones are the tough ones.

Bob Moore · 06-24-2006, 09:02 AM

Best bet for blue is Buick. Have had several but always sell at swap meets.

They are out there. Ebay will come through if search long and hard and prepared to spend. These are not cheap as supplies dry up.

I paid $125.00 complete with horn button and contact for a perfect lt. gray sport 3 spoke for my gray interior. Also the hub.

Hubs and horn cotacts are available from various venders. About the only horn cap available is a brushed stainless for Chevelles, etc. but it looks nice in a truck.

Good luck - Bob

Wow... I have owned many of those wheels over the years but have never had a gray one

Bob Moore · 06-24-2006, 10:53 PM

I was told the gray was 25th anniversiary Corvette. Also told Chevelle.

Corvette sounds better to me.

Thanks guys - Bob

Try Ecklers or MidAmerica.

1LoC10 · 06-24-2006, 12:05 PM

another thing with ebay is alot of people either dont know what they have or they list it in the wrong section.....
I know your first instinct would be to look in the steering wheel section, right? lol
I have found alot of things I wanted by just doing a word search with no section picked.. you have to scroll thorugh millions of pics, but its worth it.. hell you might even find the steering wheel you have been looking for in Exterior/bumbers, and the only description is wheel... lol, trust me ive seen it

71Shortbed · 06-24-2006, 02:46 PM

Thanks guys.... I'll do some more ebay searching. I know I can find one at the Charlotte Auto Fair but they seemed kind of pricey at $275 with the hub.

powell72 · 06-25-2006, 03:51 PM

I was lucky enough to get my truck with this wheel in it-

I had to buy the horn cap and hardware. Not as good looking as a three spoke but it works.
