can someone ID this steering wheel? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

63 & 64 Bowties · 02-19-2009, 12:37 PM

I don't think this is the deluxe wheel. But, is this horn ring from our trucks?

Bill,
Tony has some pictures, Here is his link, hope this helps.

Heeey I have that wheel in my '65. From what I have been told it was an add on option. I don't see too many of them either.

pittdawg · 02-19-2009, 02:31 PM

65VOL your right. Here is a pic of the steering wheel in my 66' C10. The second pic is of the original sales invoice for my truck with all the options. The last option is "Streeing Wheel Ring" for an extra $6.55.

That steering wheel is specific for a 1966 pickup with the custom cab option. Custom steering wheel and horn ring, Custom cab emblems, Glove box emblem, Custom seat and a few other upgrades.

X2...this is the custom cab steering wheel for the '66 trucks. It's the same steering wheel used in the Chevy II/Novas.

I also prefer the '61 through '65 custom cab steering wheel (it's the same steering wheel used for the '59-'61 Biscayne and '60-'61 El Camino). The '66 custom cab truck steering wheels are quite plentiful because of the Chevy II/Novas.

Cool stuff, pittdawg!

enaberif · 02-19-2009, 07:35 PM

$2700 for that truck! WOW have times change.

It was $2700 new and worth $2700 still!

Hahah

63 & 64 Bowties · 02-19-2009, 09:48 PM

thanks guys, never seen one before. I wasn't sure if it wasn't just an Impala horn ring or something.

*LILRED66* · 02-19-2009, 10:16 PM

The '60-'65 Custom steering wheel and chrome horn ring is the first photo and the second photo is the '66 Custom steering whell and chrome horn ring.

Ya know I didn't look at it that closely the first time, but LilRed the two pics you posted got me looking more carefully. I have a 65 c10 custom and my wheel is the first pic you posted.

63 & 64 Bowties · 02-20-2009, 08:39 AM

Thanks Tony, that explains it. It's in a 66 Custom Cab truck that I bought a few months ago. Lately I've been thinking of selling the truck. The wheel itself looks like just a stock wheel. Now, the next question; if it's rare, what's it worth?

jason65 · 02-20-2009, 08:42 AM

I'll give you $6.55 for it. j/k

4dranch · 02-20-2009, 09:26 AM

Anybody know what was meant by "Comfort and Conveneince" for $54.90 ???
was it a/c?

referring to pitdawg's post

retodd7711 · 02-20-2009, 08:41 PM

Here's the 1965 description:
The custom comfort option included a full-depth foam seat upholstered in a handsome striped nylon fabric and trimmed with vinyl in red or beige,depending on exterior color.
Also featured was a driver's door armrest, right hand door lock,chrome-trimmed control knobs,cigarette lighter,passenger-side visor and steering wheel horn ring.
White accented trim moldings were used on the outside of the doors and along the dispatch box between double moldings.
A ribbed trim plate reading custom was also applied to the roof to identify these Custom Cab trucks.

66chevy PROSTREET · 02-23-2009, 11:55 PM

is anyone looking for one of these?

65VOL · 04-06-2009, 12:54 PM

The brass piece pictured first is part of the turn signal switch, but is also one of the contact points of the "button" that fits in one of the holes through the steering wheel itself. If you'd like I can scan a page or two from my shop manual that shows the exploded view.

ol Curt · 04-06-2009, 01:06 PM

That would be awesome!!

Do you by chance have a pic of the ring before it went on?
