Re: Custom Cab Steering Wheel

It's hard to tell from the pictures so I'll just ask...Is the only difference between the standard and deluxe '66 wheel, the horn cap/ring?

The steering wheel itself is different. The custom horn ring wont fit a standard wheel. I looked a while to find a steering wheel with the stainless steel rings so I can do a 2 tone wheel.

Re: Custom Cab Steering Wheel

My '65 Custom has the same wheel and ring as my '60 Parkwood wagon (Bel Air trim level). Both wheels are original to their vehicles.

With this said will other Chevy steering wheels fit from other years and models other than trucks?

Re: Custom Cab Steering Wheel

Part of the Custom Appearance Option on Chevrolet's. Looked in my scans there's no referral to a Custom Cab option. Thank's for teaching me something .

Interchangeability of parts among the General Motors brands is what makes them great!
I also had a '95 Silverado wheel on my '69 CST tilt column.

Thank you! After reading this, I took a closer look at my wheel and noticed that it is, in fact, the deluxe wheel. It's just that the "arms" and half circle part, which attaches to the center cap, has been broken off. I guess I just need to find that piece.

Re: Custom Cab Steering Wheel

The horn ring is different for the '66 than prior year models. Mine came off a Nova
