I fool with these woodgrain factory wheel's all the time and this is the type of wheel that is in my 67 camaro , I just won this one on ebay and have not received it yet but was just wondering how it would look and drive if I put it in my 67 shortbed ? I bought it to sell on ebay but it may end up in my truck ? what do you guy's think it would look like and has anyone else got one in a 67 to 72 like it ?

I had a 71 vette wheel on a 71 1/2 ton that I had. It looked good but it is a bit too deep dished.These trucks put the steering wheel in your chest as it was. When you put a deep wheel on,,it makes it worse.I had a floor shift truck a while back.I solved the problem by cutting the column by 4".That gets it out of your chest and you can run a deep wheel.-Keith

Not sure about the vette wheel, but I put a 69 Camaro Comfort Grip wheel in my old 70 GMC. Looks like the wood wheel spokes, but a black rubber grip. They are $199 from Muscle Factory with 67-68 or 69 adapters, horn kit, and center cap. The earlier adapter aligns better.

You might need to try it to see if it works o.k. for you. The woodgrain wheels have like a 4 or 4.5 inch dish to them where the three spoke comfort grips are much flatter. They are nice looking wheels though.

You stole that.I sold a black grip Chevelle wheel like that for that much last summer.Everything bolts up.I`m not so big at 5'10"/185#,that the depth matters.

you did steal that!!!

I use the Chevelle 3-spoke cushion grip also. Like Mike C said,...use the '67-'68 Camaro wood wheel adapter. It fits the diameter of the truck columns better that the '69 adapter.

ups tracking say's it will be delivered at my homw tommorow so when it get's here I am gonna test fit it in my 67 C10 and see how it feel's , I am not a big guy but I do have a little dunlap disease

Here is my blazer with vette wheel. Looks great but I actually prefer a wheel with a thicker rim. Huck

I have a '55 Bel Air steering wheel that i got from a swap meet for $20.00. I plan on running it on my '71 do you guys that I will have any problems?
