wchall Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Recently purchased a 1965 B-67 & hoping to restore. Truck has manual (not power) steering & 20" diameter steering wheel in very rough shape. Would like to replace wheel - any idea where to get one?Also this truck is like ones I drove in 1968-72, which had a pale green interior. Would like to re-paint this one to match. Anyone know exact paint color? Thanks for any help, WC Hall 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35378-steering-wheel/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I repaired the Steering wheel in my 41 Chevy Convertible and another for my 1963 Corvan with the Eastwood's Steering wheel repair kit. Works very well if you follow the directions to the letter. I double cleaned the cracks to be sure.

57 bcr Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I have had good results with sandblasting the cracks (the wheel has a steel core) and using a plastic bumper filler after I have V'd out the cracks. You can then prime & repaint. Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

PaulI tried a bunch of ways and bailed on IE and went with Firefox and the link posted first time. Go figure? Firefox seems more customer friendly. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
