88 + steering wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

muddpile · 09-30-2005, 05:40 PM

I've seen the odd one put into these trucks, but have heard they aren't the easiest things to adapt. I will be installing a van tilt to mount it to, and figure the plain black 4 spoke design will look pretty good. They seem to be a fairly durable wheel, which is just what a truck needs in my opinion. I will be going to the wrecker tomorrow, so is there anything I need to take with me besides the wheel and the horn button? Also, what is so different to installing one of these vs. a grant model or something? Are there any nicer wheels yet in a 15" size or so that I could look for also? Thanks!

Thanks for the link John! Looks like I just need to get the wheel, horn button, pin and spring out of the slip ring correct?

grab the wire too.
As far as the wheel its self goes, it is a direct bolt on.

Thanks Longhorn Man! Looks like I'll be getting a fair amount of goodies at the wrecker tomorrow.
