Looking for something like this, doesn't have to be wood. Show me a pic of what you have and how much. Thank you.

If you want the red to match look at the repop 63-64 Corvette ones....one on eBay its the right red and not as dark as the others

I actually would prefer black but red is ok as well. Hoping to find one slightly used at a better price. Maybe someone is not happy with and wants to get rid of it?

Z10 · 09-10-2012, 07:22 PM

How about this? I just installed one on my 72 GMC. Simple install. The one you want are the same ones that fit 67-68 Camaros.

shawno72 · 09-13-2012, 04:01 PM

Funny I am actually watching a couple of those already

Rochlow · 09-13-2012, 04:10 PM

What adapter do you use for these wheels?

CC69Rat · 09-13-2012, 04:10 PM

Shawn - I can get you a new black one with hub, button and all for $210 shipped. It's a nice Re-pro. The same one on my GMC.

I know where a blue one is, but the problem with the originals is most of them are sticky or slick. Quite honestly, I'd get a new one before spending $150 on an original one. Especially since you're ok with a black one.

CC69Rat · 09-13-2012, 04:12 PM

the one on my truck is for a 69 Camaro, but the one you want is for 67-68. In 69, they moved the key up to the column so the diameter is just a touch bigger than 67-68. The earlier hub is the same diameter as our trucks. Look closely at mine and you'll see the hub is slightly larger.

I think I will be ok with that cause I am going to install a van tilt and I think those are the wider style, right?

**lolife99** · 09-14-2012, 04:10 PM

No.
Same as the trucks.

Ok so either way order one for the 68 or earlier cars?

shawno72 · 09-14-2012, 04:21 PM

Ok honest opinion, what do you guys think of this wheel? I need honesty cause I really want the comfort grip but this one is a really fair price.

NOPE! Looks like it should be in an old MG or Triumph. My 2 cents

I was actually thinking a Ferd Mustang.

CC69Rat · 09-14-2012, 04:24 PM

Here's my thinking. If I drive my truck, the first thing I see, touch and 'control' is the steering wheel.

Kinda like a woman with hairly legs. Do you really want to touch?

(I'd do the comfort grip, just me ..)

**lolife99** · 09-14-2012, 04:46 PM

Comfort grip for sure!

shawno72 · 09-14-2012, 04:53 PM

Ok that settles it, comfort grip for sure. Thanks guys, who has an old one they want to sell?

NoNeck · 09-14-2012, 07:10 PM

I will keep my eagle eyes out for one, Shawno. You need the comfort grip. It just looks more "factory", plus it has a great feel when you are driving.
