"Comfortgrip" Steering wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

oldblue1968chevy · 08-27-2012, 04:46 AM

Seen these at goodguys a few years ago.

I looked @ summit but they had some very similar but not what I wanted. I want black or colored grip, not foam or wood.

Hows the fit in our trucks (im 160lbs, 6')

How does it fit? Bolt right in, does the adaptor look funny (im trying to seretly ask for a close up pic lol) Ive been searching all over the web and ebay..

came back here

Description from the above site is a bit contradictory:

Add an awesome black Comfortgrip steering wheel to your interior with this complete Camaro wood grain steering wheel kit.

It is a good price too!

They can be found on eBay.
I run them in all my trucks.
Just make sure the hub adapter is for a 67-68 Camaro.
The 69- newer camaro hub adapter is a larger diameter than the truck columns.

They work well in our trucks. There are similar ones reproduced. Buick and Olds also had a version with 4-spokes.

missinfishin10 · 08-27-2012, 08:06 AM

Lolife, So you need the hub adapter from a 67-68 Camaro and a horn kit, from the Camaro also? Correct?

Yes on the 67-68 hub adapter.
(the horn kits are all the same)

The 67-68 camaros had the ignition switch in the dash, like our trucks,... so the column is approximately the same diameter.
If you buy the 69-70 hub adapter it will be a larger diameter, since these cars had a larger diameter steering column, because their ignition switch was in the column.

Here's the one in my '69,...

John -

I am just down the road from you in Chattanooga, TN! Keith is right about using the Camaro/Corvette hub assembly. It makes the install look factory. In addition to Keith's photo, here is one from my son's GMC showing the Camaro hub mounted to his '71 GMC column. We had painted it to match his column in this photo, but you get the idea.

You just align the brass cap and spring for the horn assembly through the hole in the hub, align the teeth on the shaft and re-install the large keeper nut. We used the repro Camaro center cap and the horn still works. This is my favorite wheel.

Hope this helps, NoNeck

oldblue1968chevy · 08-27-2012, 03:28 PM

lolife, where did you purchase yours at

**CC69Rat** · 08-27-2012, 06:52 PM

It is slightly larger but not really noticable IMO unless you know to look for it. The one on my GMC is for a 69 Camaro (the tan one above)

shawno72 · 08-27-2012, 07:19 PM

Man I need one of these!!

**CC69Rat** · 08-27-2012, 09:04 PM

I can get them at 219 I believe. Wheel, button and everyrhing. Really nice repro.

ls1nova71 · 08-27-2012, 10:09 PM

I bought mine off Ebay for around $210, it's a reproduction, but good quality in my opinion.

But for those who just HAVE to have NOS...........http://www.ebay.com/itm/370538597229...84.m1423.l2649

69GWC · 08-27-2012, 10:15 PM

I just put on very much like this in my truck but it is a wood wheel, I did not care for the wood look since there is no other wood in my truck so I sanded it down and stained it black I think it turned out rather nice.

I just purchased this one off ebay and I'll let you know how it fits.http://www.ebay.com/itm/200809103383...1#ht_971wt_939

It has a thicker leather rim which I like.
I also bought the original thin rim version several years ago for my 69 camaro. It was a repop and had a quality problem. One of the spokes pulled off the rim. It's now hanging on my garage wall. So, I purchase a used GM Corvette wheel to replace it. Nothing like GM quality.

**BIG ORANGE** · 08-27-2012, 10:28 PM

Have yall ever tried one of these, there off a 90 model chevy calviler, I usally go with a black one but I have done them in gray. There very comfy...

Just got the wheel installed this afternoon. The wheel is a great size a little larger grip than the comfort grip that is on my 69 Camaro, and it leather covered.

What do you think of my horn button modification? It just had to read

Z10 · 09-02-2012, 12:48 AM

Sorry about the flash

missinfishin10 · 09-02-2012, 06:41 AM

pat 70/71 · 09-02-2012, 12:37 PM

I purchased mine from early classic enterprises (stan&mark) the fit was great and I love how small they are. Also they are period correct for our trucks. Cheers, Pat
