Another Style Of Late Model Steering Wheel For Our Trucks
 THIS IS A LATE MODEL STEERING WHEEL THAT MAKES A GREAT REPLACEMENT FOR THE HUGE BUS WHEEL THAT CAME IN OUR TRUCKS. $45 SHIPPED IN THE LOWER 48. JOHN

ALL G.M. SPLINES ARE THE SAME SIZE. PONTIAC,OLDS,BUICK ECT. ECT. ALL AMERICAN MADE G.M. PRODUCTS ARE THE SAME. I'M NOT AT ALL SURE WHAT KIND OF TILT COLLUMN YOU HAVE, BUT IF IT'S A G.M., THIS WHEEL WILL BOLT RIGHT ON WITH NO ADAPTER.  JOHN

Thank you all nice to know.
Mine HAS power steering and it's a 68 not a 63. I can't type real good. I WAS ALSO THINKING THAT THE TURNING RATIOS ARE HIGH WITH THE STOCK, LOTS OF TURNS LOCK TO LOCK, SO THE NEWER WHEEL IS SMALLER DIAMETER AND WILL THEREFORE TAKE LESS TURNS. CHRIS

 Ya your right , whatI ment was, the radius will be a little smaller, slightly quiker to turm , but maybe that could be done with a shorter pitman? Have you ever done that?

the diameter/radius of the steering wheel has absolutely NOTHING to do with the steering ratio ... it does, however, have an effect on the leverage factor that is needed by your arms!

Steering
junkyardjohn, while we are on the subject of steering ratios, I got a question for you. The 1988 and newer chevy trucks had a quicker ratio box on them than our trucks, what I want to know would a 1988-1991 blazer or suburban also have the quicker ratio box since these will bolt up to the older trucks(mine is a 1970). Thanks for any info you may have.

BEAVIS .... I'M NOT TO SURE IF 88-91 BLAZERS & SUBURBANS (I HAVE A 71 & A 72 BLAZER & IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE BLAZERS TURNING EVEN QUICKER) BUT I'M PUTTING A STEERING GEARBOX OFF OF A 86 PICKUP ON MY 71 SHORT FLEET PROJECT TO TRY & GET A LITTLE QUICKER TURNING RADIUS. TRIPP.... HAVE ONE MORE VERY SIMILER WHEEL (SEE PIC) FOR THE SAME PRICE & TERMS. LET ME KNOW IF THIS ONE WILL WORK FOR YOU. JOHN
