KY Original 65' Corvette Steering Wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

blackhawkip · 12-11-2012, 11:35 PM

This is an original, non-reproduction, 1965 Corvette Steering Wheel with mounting hub kit for the 69-72 chevy trucks. I paid $126 for the kit itself from Classic Industries. The steering wheel matches the OEM/NOS woodgrain in our trucks. It has been professionally restored and looks great. It is 16" in diameter.

Was mounted in my truck less than two weeks. I found a perfect, near NOS, original truck steering wheel.

My loss, your gain. $SOLD shipped.

I gotta ask, what is the story with the 2 shifters? Did you recently convert to an automatic?

sdailey · 12-12-2012, 09:03 AM

Truck is a 4wd with an auto tranny.

**Hart_Rod** · 12-12-2012, 09:42 AM

Interested. What is the depth of the steering wheel?

Lee H · 12-12-2012, 09:57 AM

That's a good price for the wheel alone and someone gets the adaptor to boot. Great deal!

Aaah. Now I feel foolish. Not a 4WD guy, obviously...

darkhorse970 · 12-12-2012, 07:13 PM

I'm interested too, put me in line.

blackhawkip · 12-12-2012, 10:31 PM

Sorry for the late reply, just got home from work.

The depth of a factory wheel from bottom of hub to the wheel is 5". This set-up with the hub kit is exactly 6". So it sits about 1" closer to you, not a big deal.

The wheel itself is 4 1/8". I had a Grant 14" wheel in it before with the Grant adapter kit.and it sat the same as the Corvette wheel.

Hope this helps.

First "I'll take it" gets it.

I would like to see a better picture of the horn button, before committing to buying. Thanks,

Hub has been on the truck two weeks, wheel was completely restored so has NO cracks, scuffs, etc. It is a VERY nice wheel. I just took it off two days ago.

^ Nice buy, to whoever gets it.

octane · 12-12-2012, 11:01 PM

So who gets it? Me or Hart_Rod?

blackhawkip · 12-12-2012, 11:09 PM

Hart_Rod was the first inline stating he was interested, so in accordance with the forum rules, he is the new owner. Sorry Octane, wish I had two.

PM sent.

Lee H · 12-12-2012, 11:30 PM

You don't happen to have the classic industries adaptor part number do you. I have a 1965 corvette wheel like yours and wouldn't note mind putting it in my 72. Thanks, Lee.

I got it and it looks great! How does the horn button come off????

towbar · 12-20-2012, 11:53 PM

push down on the horn button with your thumb at the very edge of the horn button at 6 oclock, with your other hand put 2 fingers at 11 and 1 oclock and pull towards you.....it should just pop out... there's no screws or anything that holds it on...just tension of the horn contacts holds it in place.
