Steering wheels

I am looking for pics of trucks with old style steering wheels.Either original or old chevelle,caddy ect. I just like the look of the old stuff vs new billet.

Wink Re: Steering wheels

I'm in the process of restoring a 67 SS Chevell wheel now. I got all the cracks filled and plan to start sanding it later today.

After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

That's cool. Never thought of doing that. I have a '69 truck, and mine is all cracked. I like the style and feel of the wheel I have, but damn the replacements are expensive. So, how do you go about this? Can you repaint it when done? Do you think the paint will last without rubbing off?

Talking Re: Steering wheels

I plan to repaint it. I think it should last a while if done correctly which I hope I'm doing. I never tried before so I'm learning as I go. With a good paint job and clear coat it should be fine though. The picture is after I filed the cracks and filled them with body filler.

Re: Steering wheels

I'm using a Mooneyes 13.5" wheel. If I didn't have PS, I'd be using something a little bigger.

Thanks -(kinda short version) filed any cracks/crevices on the wheel, the majority of them were all where the outside ring meets the three spokes, used jbweld on the large ones and finished off with a little filler, used just filler on the tiny cracks, sanded, sanded, sanded, sanded - prepped for primer/paint. Painted it at a friends house with duplicolor pre mixed paint/sealer.

Re: Steering wheels

Here's mine. Chevy used these wheels on Chevelles, Monte Carlos even Vegas in the early 70s. Mine has a bowtie in the center not the SS.

That wheel was also used on 1976 Corvettes only.

Re: Steering wheels

I love the old Chevelle wheels. If I ever find one I will swap out my billet one right away!
