Looking for pictures of your steering wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking into buying a new steering wheel for my 72. I don't really want to go with a newer GM one. I am thinking aftermarket and possibly a wood grip to get a classic look. What are you all using if you could post a picture of yours or pics of someones you have seen. Just looking for ideas.

Here is a picture of my wood wheel. I got it from lmc. Love the classic look.

kickboxr3 · 12-26-2003, 10:46 AM

for this in the same summit catalog. friend of mine has one and it
looks sweet.

WHYBYNU · 12-26-2003, 02:04 PM

I have the Grant GRT-1170 in my truck with the plain billet horn button and billet install kit. It has a updated classic look. Here is a pic

Andy4639 · 12-26-2003, 04:19 PM

This is a Corvette leather out of a 82, sorry I bought it new though. I put the wrap on it so I wouldn't wear out the leather, and because of the comfort on long trips.

heres a pic I saved

**Palf70Step** · 12-26-2003, 07:27 PM

Here is the grant wheel I use to have in mine. I liked it because it was 16.5" diameter....near the stock size. Being I am fairly skinny, have manual steering and 275/60 tires, I felt it woiuld make the steering easier. It's now going in my daughter's 82 and I replaced it with a early 90's GM wheel.

red71cheyenne · 12-26-2003, 07:35 PM

aftermarket

**john** · 12-26-2003, 08:57 PM

camero wheel

casey · 12-26-2003, 09:59 PM

that camero wheel looks good in there, not out of place at all

truck69 · 12-26-2003, 10:04 PM

red71cheyenne..where did you get that steering wheel? I like that one.

Thanks. Truck69

*rage'nrat638* · 12-26-2003, 10:13 PM

camero wheel again

74bowtie · 12-26-2003, 11:16 PM

They all are looking great, but I have got the wheel I am going to use at least for now. I could not beat the price, it was free from a freind of mine. All I had to do was pull it from the car and the car was GM so it the adapter will would also bonus. Its like new conditionand its not bad at all black brips and chrome spokes from APC. Heres a picture of it. It does look a lot like "tomsC10r" steering wheel.
