Question 65 GMC custom steering wheel color

the steering wheel in our '65 GMC 930 is a slightly different color than the column. We are pretty sure it is the original wheel because the truck only has 39000 miles on it as soon as we learn how we will post pics

Re: 65 GMC custom steering wheel color

Welcome to the forums from Kansas City, KS...if you could balance the US on a fingertip, I am roughly in the middle.

Don't forget to post some pictures or the polaroid police, aka Joe231, will arrest you.

Re: 65 GMC custom steering wheel color

Re: 65 GMC custom steering wheel color

I believe the wheel and the dash knobs have been changed, somewhere along the way. Both are Chevy-specific.

In the early sixties, say '60-'64, the wheels were the off-white and later light fawn. The wheel is a '60-'65 Chevy Custom steering wheel with chrome horn ring assembly and the dash knobs are 4-5-6 Chevy chrome/black knobs, specific to the Custom Cab/Custom Comfort package.

Regardless, you have a nice GMC.

I really have to wonder if the canadian gmc builders dipped into the chevy bin a lot because I am pretty sure those knobs are the same as the ones on a 66 GMC that a friend in highschool drove and those knobs were the ones it left the dealer with because I asked his dad who bought that truck new if they had been changed because they were different than the ones on my '62

Re: 65 GMC custom steering wheel color

With a 1/4" socket driver, remove the two screws from the back of the chrome horn ring button. Upon removal, you can read the factory GM numbers on the horn button. This will tell you what year and model it came from...probably from a '64 Chevy truck.

Re: 65 GMC custom steering wheel color

I've seen both wheels like 62gmc910's and the one below that are described as custom wheels. What trucks were they available in? Mine is a 66 that has the wheel like this one.

Re: 65 GMC custom steering wheel color

damnyankee36:

Your steering wheel & chrome horn ring is the Custom wheel for the 1966 Chevy trucks.

The wheel in the photos of 62gmc910 is the Custom wheel & chrome horn ring for the '60-'65 Chevy trucks.

Re: 65 GMC custom steering wheel color

My 66 GMC is Canadian built and it has a lot of Chevy parts. Talking to other Canadian GMC owners we found they are basically Chevy framed vehicles with GMC sheet metal on the front. And some of them had the Chevy custom wheel in them. The side badges on ours are the same as the Chevy but with GMC on them. I do not see these on the US trucks. My rear suspension is coil not leaf. Stuff like that shows up.

Re: 65 GMC custom steering wheel color

So did many of the '60-'64 Chevy C20 trucks. I have had a few with the floor-mounted e-brake, similar to the big iron.
