I bought my "shortbed" from this guy. I probably don't have to say anymore.

Looks like a nice truck. Probably a bit high on the price, but you never know.

Can anyone tell what steering wheel is on that truck? That's exactly the kind I am looking for.

Commonly known as a 3 spoke. They fit best to the column in the 67-72 trucks when you use an early 67 camaro hub.

That's cool guys. I'm almost afraid to ask but what does a wheel and mounting hub like that one run?

Looks like the Grant 967 we are putting in the Chevelle... We just got done restoring the wheel, we puled it from a 67 C10 at the local scrapper...

The Grant install kit 3162 fits 60-69 C series as well as 67 - 68 Chevelles.
70-73 C series use Grant # 3163

As far as the truck on CL... at least he admits that its a cut down long box...this time.

Yea wish he would have last time 2. LOL, its my own damn fault.

I would assume so, i do believe most GM wheels were the same spline, car or truck.

sdailey · 01-05-2012, 03:33 PM

Those steering wheels are called "comfort grip" steering wheels. Search the board here and you'll find alot of info on them.

Thank you sdailey.

For something he claims is too nice to be a daily driver, the least he could've done was clean up a little under the hood.

**leddzepp** · 01-06-2012, 11:44 PM

He states that a SWB frame was swapped in...not cut down. If in doubt, crawl underneath and check it out.
