I found this simulated wood wheel on E bay. I have the cracks fixed but haven't started sanding it yet.
It's going in the Ramp Rat truck when done along with the tilt column. ![]()

Re: Past your Off year steering wheel pics?
Thanks you guys...now only if I had said POST your pictures instead of PAST .....lots of great pics keep them coming. Going to have to make a decision soon! Kind of leaning towards the stock Camaro wheel, but pretty hard to bet the stock 67-68 wheel. It looks RIGHT at home.....

Re: Post your Off year steering wheel pics?
I love the Vette rosewood wheels, not too keen on the price of those suckers though.

Re: Post your Off year steering wheel pics?
I found my Vette wheel on eBay for $150 but I think it's a repro. Most I saw were in the $300 ballpark. This one had two cracks that I filled and painted.
The wheel hub ran almost as much as the wheel plus the repro Vette button ain't cheap. I held off on doing this for a long time because of the cost but I finally bit the bullet and did it cuz I liked the way it looked so much. With the smaller OD it feels way better to drive than the stock wheel .

Re: Post your Off year steering wheel pics?
No rosewood with the old vettes, just simulated walnut, and then the spendy ones, real teak.

I had this exact steering wheel, I had bought it off LMC years ago. I learned the hard way that they don't like manual steering, the wood broke off while I was pulling my trailer and for a time it had a very nice electrical tape finish.

Sport grip wheel on my 65 Chevelle SS. If I remember correctly, the Muscle Factory makes this high quality reproduction wheel.

Keep 'em coming guys ! .
These are great . I bought a flimsy re pop stock steering wheel that's not even the correct green , I keep thinking of adding an Impala wheel with horn 1/2 rig , maybe a '59 ....... That '46 steering wheel looks fantastic , I wish I had your skillset .

Re: Post your Off year steering wheel pics?
Need more pics!! I am really trying to decide what wheel I want to use. That last one from the 64 Elco looks freaking AWESOME!
Can anyone tell me, is pretty much any GM wheel interchangeable from that era? I have a 69 Chevelle wheel in mind, or possible a Pontiac 3 spoke from the Tran Ams between I don't know....1975-1980ish? Like the Smokey and Bandit car,.......that wheel.....Any help greatly appreciated here! Thanks from Snowy BC! |
