Question Hey Dion, Question for you

What is your steering wheel adapter off of? 68 Camaro/Chevelle? I know there are different sizes but yours fits good.

Thanks

I believe it's from a late 60's Chevelle, it had the adapter on it when I bought it and it went right on in 10 mins. I have a little problem with the ground though, you have to push hard to get it to honk and I get a little shock.

Nice looking interior, my wife would want me to fit a steering wheel that gives you an electric shock when you use it, she thinks I use mine far too often!

shock

Hey Dion, if you are getting a shock that means the circuit is using you to go to ground. Check to see if the truck body is grounded to the motor and frame.

I bought my wheel from Muscle Factory. It has a 69 adapter. The 69 passenger cars have a slightly larger diameter column than the earlier cars. This to accomodate the locking steering column. SO if you buy one for your truck, get a 67-68 Camaro Comfort Grip package. Muscle Factory was cheapes I had found at $160, but they have since gone up to $200. Complete, however. Adapter, bolts, horn kit, contact kit, button, etc.
