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

miller6t9 · 11-12-2009, 01:03 AM

I've scoured the site and cannot find a thread that tells how to mount a Corvette (or Rally ...or whatever) style steering wheel on a '72. What would I need to get this accomplished? also, I want to have a Corvette horn button, if someone has this and could explain it.

**lolife99** · 11-12-2009, 01:41 AM

Do you have a picture of your steering wheel?

**special-K** · 11-12-2009, 08:04 AM

The sport wheel with three slotted aluminum spokes and vinyl or mahoghany grip?There`s a hub that fits the shaft,then the wheel,a mounting plate/wire/spting/contact,and then a choice of caps.It`s all straight forward if you have everything.There are also the 4-spokes from the other GMs that had a vinyl rimmed horn button and the same mounting.

miller6t9 · 11-12-2009, 02:21 PM

yes, this steering wheel

with this horn button

which hub do I need? Corvette? Camaro? what fits the steering column the best on a '72?

mclairmo · 11-12-2009, 04:06 PM

I thought all the hubs were the same and it did not matter.

**lolife99** · 11-12-2009, 06:00 PM

Use the 67-68 Camaro hub.
The 69 Camaro hub is a sightly larger diameter than the 67-72 truck columns.

I have three of these steering wheels. (two in trucks and one in my Camaro)
They are my favorite.

BB72CHEVKT · 11-12-2009, 06:16 PM

What diameter are they? It is my favorite as well.

miller6t9 · 11-12-2009, 08:23 PM

the Corvette Style wheel is 15 inch

lolife99, do you have any pics to share?

**lolife99** · 11-12-2009, 08:30 PM

I'm at work.
Here's where I get my steering wheels and hub assemblies.

I can play!

miller6t9 · 11-12-2009, 11:53 PM

festive seat cover you got there.....what kind of hub did you use?

mycool72 · 11-12-2009, 11:57 PM

Wow, those wheels look great guys! I need to find me one!

John H. · 11-13-2009, 12:01 AM

Classic Industries has the complete kit including horn kit cap etc.

Under OER brand.

**special-K** · 11-13-2009, 08:42 AM

The Vette horn button is the same as the Olds,Buick,and Pontiacs with a different emblem.It all interchanges.these are GMs,afterall,not Edsels.

what John said. got all my parts from Classic Industries (under the Camaro catalog section).

**special-K** · 11-13-2009, 11:49 AM

So,while we`re on the subject...What about the gMC guys?What can he do for a horn button?i`ve been considering different options.So far,I`m just using an Olds horn button.I figure with the car stuff,I use the other GM marks rather than Chevy.I want to machine the bow tie off the center of the aluminum cap.Maybe enlarge that area some.Then either machine GMC in,make an applique,center cap emblem?,leave plain,???
The other option is the vinyl rimmed one,like the Vette showed,and get a GMC emblem in there somehow.
WWYD???

miller6t9 · 11-13-2009, 12:10 PM

I thought some of the Grant steering wheels offered a GMC horn button. i dont know if it would fit, but it may be something to look into....ok I did find one from Summit....Grant product # 5636

Andy4639 · 11-13-2009, 12:20 PM

I bought this wheel many years ago. It's got the GM hub and Corvette button. You can take the button apart and put any kind of LOGO you want in it if you are carefull enough!
If I remember right I got the steering wheel from Eckler's corvette in Fla. as stated any of the GM hubs will work some are just a tad bigger than others.

sdailey · 11-13-2009, 12:56 PM

Where exactly can you find the 15" steering wheels? I briefly looked at Classic Industries' website and all I see are 14" ones. Is there another company that you can recommend that has the 15" wheels for sale? Also, what cars should I be seaching under i.e. camaro, corvette, chevelle, nova, etc. etc.

Thanks.

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-13-2009, 03:45 PM

Mine that will be going in the "Bluedress"

**special-K** · 11-13-2009, 04:02 PM

ooooooohhhhhhhhhhh...

smn69 · 11-13-2009, 04:34 PM

You should have bypassed all the problems trying to fit a Corvette steering wheel by buying one of the rare Corvette optioned trucks!
