Still looking for steering wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HeavyD · 01-11-2005, 10:32 PM

I posted this a few months ago but thought I would try again. I would like to put a 3 spoke steering wheel (aluminum spokes with black rim) on my truck but was hoping not to have to shell out repro prices (about $500 Canadian by time all accessories are added in) for a new one. Does anyone have one in decent shape they would like to part?

Here is a pic of what I would like:

I know what that is, very nice, Ive had 2, 1 LS5, 1 396
How much are you willing to pay in US dollars

Have you looked on Ebay .I think they have reproductions for about $175 US. Where did you find that picture ? I have a 1970 SS396 right now that is a factory Cranberry Red car with code 788 Factory Red Bucket seat interior .I wish it looked like that one .Frank

Thanks everyone. I can buy a repo here for $350 Canadian or so, but that does not include horn cap or taxes. I was hoping to pay around 200 or so US for a good used one. I will see what I can do with that last ebay one. Thanks again.

Heavy D I did a little math and here is the result.

Used Wheel 200.00 US.
23% Exchange 46.00
PST & GST 34.00
Shipping 15.00
Total 296.00 CDN. and depending how its shipped you wil have to pay broker fees of at least 8.00 or more if UPS , Fed Ex etc is used. You might as well buy the new one here. Have you tried dealin with RPM here in Saskatoon?

I don't know, but I'd like to have the car that that wheel is attached to!

**StingRay** · 01-12-2005, 02:09 PM

I found mine complete in a Buick Skyhawk for 15 bucks. I still stumble across the odd one in other than black once in a while. It's been along time since I've found a black one but it's still worth lookin'.

I really like those wheels and have considered buying one for my Blazer.

Grant sells a repo that looks pretty good. It's the 967 model:
http://www.grantproducts.com/

The MSRP is about $160 or so US with the bowtie horn button.

One issue is that the dish is over 4" and I would be afraid that our trucks column setup is so close now that it would put the wheel too close to you.

72BLAZERDUDE · 01-12-2005, 02:39 PM

Try WWW.summitracing.com . They have a repo with foam grips for 68.00. Its Grant #969

HeavyD · 01-12-2005, 03:00 PM

StingRay: I have looked at Skyhawk wheels, but always see colors, not black. They are nice, but I need a black one so I guess I have to pay the $.

Already Gone: I might try RPM today. One repo guy in Ontario quoted me 500 bucks for complete setup. Original Parts Group wants $152 for wheel alone, or $250 for a kit with horn cap, etc. $250 converted to USD is $299, so even with shipping it might still be cheaper to buy across border. I don't mind paying for good parts, but I have seen buckets/console (and your newer buckets) on here for that amount.

At least others have an idea of what this stuff will cost now. I am going to check around to see who will give me the best deal. Thanks to all who responded.
