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

Since I have replaced my old column with new tilt unit the old beat-up 16" steering wheel begs for replacement. Naturally, the question which OE or aftermarket steering wheels look good in our trucks. Please post pictures and other fitment information (installation kit required, etc)

This is the only other one I've got at the moment. She's serving winter duty right now and is absolutely filthy. Come spring time I'll clean it back up and take some pics.

Any idea what the difference is between that one and the ones that LMC and Classic parts offers?

If I may, do you remember what the cost was or could you just say it was more or less expensive than the LMC one?

This is the one I got, looks exactly the same as the one in LMC and is much cheaper. Installation kit was ~$20 if I remember.

I had a 1st gen Lumina wheel on mine that look very good.
I have a small Grant on it now but I it's blocking view of the IP, plus it's
not going to be very cushy in a wreck situation, so I'll prob switch back.

It's in another truck and upside down in the pic.
