Steering wheel makeover
I recently sent my steering wheel out to get dyed at The Truck Shop in Tenn. Well it came back today, looks great. It was originally more of a blue-ish grey and was sticky. Now it's like new and matches to boot! It cost just under $100 with shipping both ways.

Re: Steering wheel makeover
powell72,
I love that new setup! Man, I that's what I want to replace my wheel with. Different color because of my truck color, but same design. Of course, mine is a `68, so not sure how accurate. Where can I get one of those?!?! Last edited by DoobieBrother; 03-28-2007 at 09:22 PM. |

![]() Doobie and bean-I don't believe Jerry restores stock wheels, just sells them and dyes them. I do know he sells this style of wheel there. He has them in most all factory colors and they come with the wheel, adapter, horn button and horn parts for I think around $300. Or you can junkyard/swapmeet for one, it's an Old's wheel.

Re: Steering wheel makeover
I don't think he can re-mold, mine's just dyed. It was in pretty good shape to start. He probably knows someone who can re-mold though, knowing him.
cbbs02- Their number is 931-484-7816.

Re: Steering wheel makeover
Looks like a wheel from a buick or olds h-body (same as a chevy monza). I think they used them in others, but the adapter and horn button hardware is interchangeable with the 3 spoke chevy wheel that has the same looking spokes.

OEM's spend millions to design and calibrate supplemental restraint systems, having an aftermarket come in and design a one size fits all universal kit isn't going to happen anytime soon. You wan't better protection without an airbag, retrofit 3 point belts into your truck and use them. That heavy frame and body will do the rest in a crash.

Re: Steering wheel makeover
Ok,about the dye(I should prolly just call Jerry).I wonder if he can change color.Mine`s in good shape and black.It would be cool to color-match.

Re: Steering wheel makeover
I believe he can color change, might just take more dye to cover black is all. He has those wheels like mine in all colors that he's dyed.
