Title: Wooden Steering Wheel?
Post by: rockable on February 28, 2009, 12:08:14 pm

I found one of these in my attic.  It was left over from an old sports car project.  I see that Classic offers an adapter that would allow me to use it in my '86 Silverado.  How do you think it would look?  I've got Burgundy interior.

I've given serious consideration to a wooden corvette repro wheel.  I'm not sure what I'd think about it in my truck either, but do I love the look of a nice wood wheel, in general.  If you spring for the adapter, be sure and post pics for us.

Adapter is on order.  It may take a couple weeks but I'm going to put it on and try it out.  I love the feel and look of a wooden wheel.
