3 prong factory steering wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68on22s · 07-21-2004, 10:35 PM

I have a chevrolet steering wheel on my 68 truck and I dont know if it is factory or not because I have not researched it a lot but so far I have not seen another one like mine on our trucks. It has three bars on it and has a chrome center peice that says chevrolet division. If anyone knows where I can buy a new one I would appreciate it. It would help a lot to know what it looks like if I had a picture but I need to get a digital camera still haha.

i believe they only came in 67 and 68 pickups and burbs, but the larger trucks kept using that style into the 80s.

alot of people change them to a newer style
but they are still hard to come by
if you have one fix it and paint it
it will look good as new

yep thats the wheel mine has. I cant beleive they dont sell them new. I am just going to fix mine and paint it. What do you guys suggest for a crack filler. It should have to be flexible or it will probably crack.

I'm using PC-7 for filler. It was recommended by Eastwood, but I made up their steering wheel kit by getting all the components locally. PC-7 was at Ace hardware and the Auto Prep, and Self Etching Primer I got at PepBoys. I don't know if it was any cheaper but there was no wait and I had the stuff in hand. Also had to buy a taper file (Ace) and a close quarter hacksaw(Loews). I used popsicle sticks moistened in alcohol to spread the PC-7 after chasing the cracks with the hacksaw blade and then widening the grooves with the V-shaped taper file.
Currently I'm still sanding down the many compound angles on the spokes. after it's back to it's original shape I shoot it with the Prep spray. When that dries Self-Etch Primer. After a couple coats of primer-- I have a can of '68 Silver Fawn Irridescent Lacquer I will complete the wheel with. It's a good match for my '68 stepside's factory interior. I used it on the trim and gauge circles around the dash pad. I got the fawn spraypaint at the Paddock, but it wasn't cheap.
Hope this helps.
