Anybody Recognize This Steering Wheel?
I believe this is a 1971 GMC. Is this the stock steering wheel?

nope, kinda looks liek a van steering wheel.
I think GM used this as a replacement though... there's quite a few owners who thought it was original on there rig. |

Thanks. I've seen several of these steering wheels in in our trucks, so I was starting to wonder.

That's the same kind of van steering wheel I have in my truck. I can't stand it. It's shaped to fit your hands on an upright van steering column, so it's really uncomfortable in our trucks. I don't think that's the same as shown in the picture I posted.

I'm assuming that all 69-72 trucks had this style of steering wheel.

I was ordering parts a while back and asked if steering wheels were available.The parts guy checks and says ,"yeah,only in black though".I got all excited and ordered one.I was going to order a boatload since they weren`t reproed yet.Well,it can in and it was a later model like one of those shown,boohoo.To answer your question,yes 69-72 were one style,Vans too for awhile after that.Probably when they changed the fronts in,`79?

This is the wheel from my '67 SWB stepside, I belive it to be the original from 1967
It brings back memories to see these pics...It will be SO much better when the project is back on the road

I've seen numerous 73-up trucks with that wheel. Don't know when they stopped using them though.

Ok, thanks guys. I wonder if GM put these steering wheels in any '72 trucks near the end of the year.
