Is a original 72 steering wheel worth anything? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Or should I just chuck it? It has 3 cracks one at top and where the center meets the ring..its black

Thanks 72Pete

I say toss it. Replacement wheels are avail for not a lot of money. I doubt you could sell it, since almost everyone with a 72 now owns either a new replacement, or an identical cracked wheel.

Ok its in the trash for monday pickup unless someone want to pay shipping on it (yes you can have it)

I guess I would rather have a 69-72 steering wheel with a couple of cracks than a 73+ steering wheel on a truck. How cracked is it?

Tynee · 12-08-2002, 11:37 PM

if its too cracked for da-burb, I'll take it if its blue. how close are you to sacramento, maybe my sister in law could pick it up, and save me the shipping

Ok, it seems I was wrong. I guess I'll have to offer up my old cracked wheel when I get around to replacing it with the new non-cracked model.

here are the two cracks and locations............there is frost on the steering wheel so it looks "grayish" but its black.

Free to good home ..you pay shipping

Don't throw it away. where in CA are you? If I am going to be near there I could stop and get it from you.

~72'Pete~ · 12-09-2002, 01:16 AM

That's abput 2.5 hours away, but I am up there sometimes, so let me see what I can figure out. Btw, a new one of those wheels costs about $170. I also know someone here that might want it for their truck, but I will have to call them and ask.

~72'Pete~ · 12-09-2002, 03:22 AM

Sure just let me know, beats throwing it away....which is kinda sacreligious anyways......and FYI my grant is pissing me off it wont stay tight no matter what.every 200mis i have to retighten it.....damn things.
