Woodgrain Steering wheel trim? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**ShortHaul** · 03-08-2019, 01:18 PM

Anybody know if there is a source for the woodgrain trim piece on our steering wheels? My truck came with the original steering wheel, but its missing the trim piece. I've looked high and low, but no luck? Thanks!

This is the part I'm referring to.

I just purchased some 3M vinyl woodtrim. It's a great match. Here's mine:

I've never seen a source for new ones. I have one that I have been saving that the "woodgrain" is not in great shape but the metal itself is. These would be sooo easy to reman...i think. Should be ale to scan these and make them...somebody should be able to...I've been holding onto it for that reason, hoping I could find a place to make one.

I Didn’t realize the trim had a metal piece surrounding the wood. I guess I’m missing the whole piece. If you get tired of holding onto that one I’d be happy to take it off your hands!

Here's 2 second of searching: https://www.metrorestyling.com/Searc...ge=1&cat=19978

Patience and an exacto knife is all you need.

Thanks

. I was wondering WHICH of the patterns you chose. It looks like an exact match. Walnut? Cherry teak? Thank you.

I don't recall. I'd try a few of them.

Just in case you find the perfect pattern, please let me know.

Lowe's and Home Depot also has rolls of the woodgrain vinyl.

I have one of those wheels from a 70s GMC van but the inlay or whatever is orangish not woodgrain.

Gm called that wood grain chestnut on the 1977 models. Not sure the name 76 down though.
