How long did GM run this type of steering wheel?

Longhorn Man · 10-22-2003, 11:46 PM

69 - 72

**Canadian694x4** · 10-22-2003, 11:48 PM

I just bought a reproduction horn button and it won't fit in the center...I ask this because as of now I have a horn button that is yellow not blue like our era of trucks is supposed to be????

**Canadian694x4** · 10-22-2003, 11:49 PM

steering wheel/horn buttons could this mean the reproduction parts are different size??

Longhorn Man · 10-22-2003, 11:57 PM

Hmmm, maybe I am wrong. I'm pretty sure they went to another style in 73.

**Canadian694x4** · 10-23-2003, 12:04 AM

I was wondering if it carried over maybe just 1 year...I may have to ask 73-79 era chevy owners what they have for wheels...

Thanks tho Longhorn...

I believe the 69-72 wheels also showed up in vans into the late 70s....

67cst · 10-23-2003, 03:49 AM

my van tilt came with a wheel like that, it was a mid 70s tilt

My Mom had a 73 Blazer and it had that big boat wheel on it. It was original. It was the same gross blue as her interior.

tom hand · 10-23-2003, 08:52 AM

Maybe also in the big trucks...C60 and the like? I know in later years the body style lagged a few years behind the passenger trucks...even on the blazers and burbs. Does anyone know if they changed the bodystyle in 73 on the big trucks?

Longhorn Man · 10-24-2003, 12:28 AM

Not sure what year they chainged the C/40 and bigger trucks, but I know they ran the 67/68 style steering wheel well into the 80's in them. I don't think they ever had that style wheel.

Hooter · 10-24-2003, 01:27 AM

the horn button definetly came from a chevy van or really early 73 chev's

**Canadian694x4** · 10-24-2003, 01:05 PM

I was wondering about the van angle after the a few said that the early 73's didn't have those wheels...
