Deluxe Steering Wheel

I have been looking at a lot of 60-66 chevy and GMC's trying to figure out which ones would have the original deluxe steering wheel. I understand this is a rare option - is this true? Are there any other clues that would say - if it was custom model, it would get a deluxe steering or anything like that?

I love the look of the deluxe steering and have just purchased one on ebay - hopefully will be home soon so I can post pics!!!

Re: Deluxe Steering Wheel

Can the deluxe trim in the steering wheel be added to a standard steering wheel or is a completely different wheel all together?

It is a completely different wheel. 60-65 wheels are pretty easy to come by since they used them for several years, they are actually the same or left overs from cars back in the late 50's. The 66 wheel is harder to find since it was used only 1 year on the trucks, they are the same as the Chevy II nova of the same period.

Hope this helps

Re: Deluxe Steering Wheel

Other threads on the subject. And I correct myself with the first thread. No Deluxe wheel in 1960.
