Horn cap bushing for a 68 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**BC10** · 08-09-2014, 04:01 PM

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know where I can get a horn cap bushing for my 68 Chevy with the oem steering wheel? Been looking for a while. I had ordered one from LMC but it will be on backorder for six weeks!
I see a bunch that fit the post 69 models but not as many for 67, 68 years.

Will this one fit? Even though it claims to fit all 60-72 models? Are there major differences for this part for different years?

Yup theres a difference. The 67-68 plastic trim piece is flat and does not have the raised mounting holes

Heres another pic. I pulled out of my 67 the underside looks loke the one on the link. The side that the screwheads sit on is completly flat so it looks to be the sam. We all learn sumthin new on this site! Order a new one. In my exp. Old ones are always britlle

Thanks for the clarification Mike and John!

I think I figured it out, and please correct me if I am wrong. I am just typing this out as a reference for the next fellow looking for this info.

The horn button insulator/grommet/bushing are STANDARD for all 1960-72 trucks.

The horn cap retainer kits from 1960-72 are not universal. There are TWO different types, even though both kits share the same horn button insulator/grommet/bushing:

1. 60-68 all use the same retainer kit
2. 69-72 all use the same retainer kit

Here is a link to the truck and car shop that has pictures of all of these items.

Thanks for all the help!
