Any body know if a Non air bag S10 steering wheel will fit on a 81-87 Silverado ? Thanks

i think it will but i'm not 100% sure

pkbinplano · 03-09-2003, 10:57 AM

OK Did a search and they will fit. Second question- are they the same size ? Wouldn't mind a smaller wheel. The Camaro steering wheel I have on it now isn't bad. Just looking for a little change.

In TX on a truck you need a 13" steering wheel to pass inspection.

That's why I removed my GT Grant wheel and put on the four spoke from the 88-94 models.

I don't think the s10 wheels are any smaller than 13". I think it would be fine. I bought an older S10 wheel and it was the same size as the 4-spoke I have now. The splines should match up on your truck.

I'm pretty sure that they used the same wheels in s-10's that came in the 88 and up trucks. I didn't even have to mess with the turn signal cam in my 86 to get this wheel in. And I love this wheel so much more than the orginal wheel, it's almost kinda scary. . . .

Same here. I love my 4 spoke. You can get them at the swap meets for sure. So easy to swap over it's almost a must

It's not just a privilege of the '88&up trucks, my blazer has one too, stock
Bought another one $35 because i really dig the styling, this one is also mint

If you swap it out, are you interested in selling the Camaro wheel?

My Dad has a Chevette wheel, of all things, on his '37 Chevy Coupe. It is actually a nice looking wheel, and it was really cheap. Whou woulda thought?

I have to get the other wheel first. Then wait and see how I like it.
