Opinions On Steering Wheel

[DuckAholic1]

Hi All, Thinking about changing out my steering wheel. Before I do, I'd like to get some opinions &/or options from my fellow chevy owners. I really like the classic Grant wheels, walnut finish & the classic black. I'm just afraid of taking away from the stock look of my truck. What other year wheels would fit my 87?? I like the 94 yr wheels also. Will those fit. Anyone sell new replacement of the stock one? Appreciate any thoughts!

as long as the wheel doesnt have an airbag it will fit

i have this exact wheel in my 77 and i absolutely love it.

if you ask me its not a huge jump away from a stockish look. i mean its not like your puttin a gold chain wheel in there

I"d like to find something smaller than the factory wheel, maybe thicker too... I'm used to newer cars (15-25 years old) and the truck wheel is huge and thin.

For factory steering wheels I have always liked the 1979-1981 Z-28 steering wheels . They are thick and comfortable. I think they are called rope wheels. I also have seen the old Oldsmobile 4 spoke wheel in a 1978 truck. I really liked that one as well however I could never find one.

As far as a Grant wheel, my son and I put a signature 3 spoke wheel in the 79 truck. We had to buy the adapter also. The only problem is that the adapter has a 2 inch spacer that has to be put in. I do not have tilt steering yet but it will need put in the truck in order for this wheel to work. The steering wheel is too far back now. I know that they make a one inch adapter but I still don't think it will help. If you have a tilt wheel then you will have no problems. If you do not have a tilt wheel then pay close attention to the kit that you need to use to mount the steering wheel. My son bought it at O'reilly's for $99.

That's close to what I want, the one I want is a LaCarra and the spokes are solid, no big spaces.

I have a steering wheel out of a '90 K1500 in my '77 and love it.

One other option would be a early '90s Cavalier.

There are several examples in this thread:

Yes. I saw a video on youtube of a guy driving a lifted 80's model that had a Trans Am steering wheel.

I had this one on my Blazer years ago...



but really like this one...

Any of the (relatively) old GM steering wheels will fit as long as it isn't a airbag setup.

After further review..I think I'm really leaning towards a 91ish 1500 wheel. Really like the leather ones.

I am in the same position looking for a new steering wheel. The stock one i have is starting to mark every pair of pants I wear when getting and out of the truck.

I've got a stepside with a woodbed and was looking at this one on classic parts, but seems spendy. Any other similar options or better prices for this one out there?
