I need to replace my 17" factory wheel with a small one. Pictures?
Looking for picture of 15" steering wheels. Thinking about getting a 1970 Chevelle wheel for my 1970 C10. Want the three spoke style 15" wheel that looks like a factory style Corvette or Chevelle wheel.

A real Corvette wheel from that '68-'75 timeframe is very thin. Make sure you try one out, you may not like it. In '76 they went to the "Vega" wheel and it was easier to grip.

Re: I need to replace my 17" factory wheel with a small one. Pictures?
I also need to swap my OE 17" wheel for a 15" . Has anyone done this on a manual steering truck ? Hate to spend $300 and find out it's too hard to turn . Thanks !!

So a steering wheel from a late 80 to early 90 Chevy truck goes on easy peasy ? That might be a low buck option . Thanks !

Running a comfort grip as well in my truck. I love these wheels and have them in pretty much everything. Not sure on the auto columns but I used a 67/68 Camaro hub with my floor shift column.

I have one of these on my '69 with a tilt column. I'm not sure the horn contacts are the same as the standard column. If I recall correctly, the only thing that needs to be done with a tilt is to modify the horn contact. Attached are pics of the modifications I made. The first pic is a the original contact. The remaining pics show what I did.

There are at least 3 versions of that wheel. See the pics below. The first, which I used, is leather wrapped. It was on a '93 or '94 S10 Blazer LTD. It's a very comfortable wheel.

Re: I need to replace my 17" factory wheel with a small one. Pictures?
Am on my 2nd oem repro 17 inch steering wheel, the last one with the steel cracked like the first w/out. Wondering if the 15 inch wheel has been out long enough to know if it will hold up any better? thanks
