LeCarra I'm gonna swap this one out for a three spoke with a gray wrap like the one in the second pic.

sdailey · 06-25-2009, 02:13 PM

I've seen this steering wheel in numerous 67-72's and I'll probably use it in my '69 when the time comes. This is a Chevelle/Corvette/Nova steering wheel if I'm not mistaken.

clos69 · 06-25-2009, 05:17 PM

Thanks for the pics guys...keepm comming.....Rob..how do you like that wheel on your 68? Do you feel like it is too close to your chest while driving?I like it but it looks like it sticks out abit much...is this the case? thanks

I really like it, it fits me perfect (5'9"). With the supercharged stroker motor, it's kinda like NASCAR.....

The "500",The horn cap is from a late 50's gmc school bus.

You have any pics with you sitting behind it? I am 6'1 ,210lbs and don't think I can fit behind a 4.5in deep wheel.

Anyone else have other models installed?

Mayo · 06-26-2009, 10:06 AM

I love the look of the wooden wheel. If I ever get another 67-72, I will probably put one of them in.

craig24671 · 06-26-2009, 10:08 AM

Here's my grant on my '68, got plenty of belly room

Beatcoaster · 06-26-2009, 12:32 PM

clos69 - I am 6'4" 250 and the wheel is ok for me(much better than stock however), arm position is a little better and gut room is fine also. Foot position is the real killer for me as I need to go back about 1' for the pedal to feel correct and not kill my leg muscles after a 1 hour drive...but that isn't changing - ugh - I can't say this wheel/truck is comfortable in any sense of the word, just "better than stock"...

big mike71 · 06-26-2009, 09:40 PM

I want a bango style wheel, I have a brand new 17" factory wheel I would trade or sell for the right deal.

fastom · 06-26-2009, 09:46 PM

Here's mine, Billet Specialties!
