60-66 steering wheels
As a parchment interior owner, looking for alternative wheel. Old school, not new. And not a fan of the comfort grip. 60 to 66 truck wheel is a nice wheel to me. Anybody run one, have pics, and how does it mate to column size wise? Horn?

Re: 60-66 steering wheels
As far as switching the wheel it will fit most any year. The horn works the same way and should fit nicely.

Re: 60-66 steering wheels
Thanks Jurassic. Would like to see a picture or hear from anybody running one. They seem to hold up better and come in a color that looks like a pretty close match to sandalwood.

Re: 60-66 steering wheels
Only 69-72 wheels are molded in color. Even the reproductions are painted. So, don't let the color of the wheel deter you. Many, including myself, use GM car steering wheels. I have a '67 Impala wheel for my '67 GMC. It's easy for Chevy guys, since there are so many Chevy car steering wheels. I think a bowtie on a GMC is tacky. I go with BOPs, Chevys that don't say that on them or have a bowtie, or do a custom GMC center

Re: 60-66 steering wheels
Thanks for the reminder Special-K. I need to stay focused. I have a wheel in the works from the board with some cracks that need to be repaired and I will try my hand at painting one. Sometimes I want a quick solution. Weather has been nice here and I want to get her out and drive.

I'm using an earlier wheel on my '67 Panel Truck. I looked on my computer and I guess I didn't take a picture of the dash after I finished it. I will get a picture of it in the morning.... LockDoc
