Steering wheel color.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

knsmodels · 06-07-2005, 12:12 AM

OK....my truck is Medium Green with same color interior......dash pad is a dark green (no metallic) and the top of the dash is a dark greyish green, Steering colum is a different dark green color (lighter than the pad)....What color would be the correct color for the stock steering wheel?? I bought the truck off 2nd owner and as far as I can tell it was untouched....original steering wheel that is in the truck is a dark Blue color. Could this be correct?? or should it be a Green color?? I just want it to be correct....interior is the stripped down interior no bells and whistles in the trim area....Thanks for any input......Paul K

I was thinking all steering wheels were the same color as the column
origianally

But I am no expert, I know the tilts were all in black.

My 72 medium green C10 had a green steering wheel that was fairly close to the body color. The horn button was slightly darker. I have seen several that were similar.

I`ve seen a medium dark green wheel on a `72 before.Should match the column.Is the blue wheel greenish,like spruce?

Thanks all for the input......the column is in good original cond. on my truck so I am going to match the wheel to the column.....The blue wheel has some green in it but it is definately more blue.....it looks out of place....I never really noticed it when I was daily driving the truck but now it looks wierd...Thanks again....Paul K

The column in my truck(non tilt) is painted dk olive, and the steering wheel matches it. So does the dash pad and the seat.

My truck is a light/medium olive green, and the interior is just like you described yours. The OEM steering wheel (since changed) is a medium dark green. HTH
