anyone now where I can find a stock steering wheel for my 1983 c10 or someplace that makes a repoduction steering wheel? I want everything to look stock, i bought it with this dinky little steering wheel on it. so for sure want to get that swapped out eventually.

I haven't looked in a while and you should check with the site administrator, CaptKaos, but I think it is discontinued from GM (Chevrolet parts). You might be able to find an NOS steering wheel on Ebay or through NOS parts dealers if you get the original part number. The 88-94 Chevy truck steering wheel will work in place of the factory steering wheel. Some others might have some ideas to offer; but for an original type steering wheel you are probably going to have to search the salvage yards.

Some companies have fancy catalogs. The catalog companies, to me, offer essentially readily available GM parts and reproduction parts at an inflated price (possibly due to having a slick catalog). Between a good Chevrolet/GMC partsman and other parts dealers, like the site admin, you will find the right parts (quality parts at that) at a much better price.

I run a mid 80s GMC Van steering wheel in Yellow Snow. Looks stock because its a GM part.

Just a couple weeks ago I sold the original wheel off my '87. It had been sitting in my garage for about 10 years. My parent's garage for about 5 years prior to that. I had taken it off in place of a 88-94 wheel.
The only reason I sold it was because someone said they were looking for one.
Other than going 88-94 or finding one like mine I don't know. I rarely see steering wheels at the salvage yard.
