Alternate Steering Wheel

[87gmcburb]

Hello,
I am currently using a 94 Jimmy steering wheel on my burb., see pic. I have always hated the OEM steering wheels for burbs (too big and look so-so). I was thinking about an 86 Corvette C4 steering wheel. Has anyone out there tried one.

Isn't that Corvette wheel the exact same one you've already got on there from the Jimmy?

That doesnt look like a factory truck/suburban steering wheel, but something else

Yea def misread, apologies. I like the visibility of the gauges and big touch screen radio you have

I like Grant, many options to choose from

To throw another option out, I put the GM Comfort Grip wheel in my '85. I love this wheel, looks great, feels great and is still nice and thin. It's 15" vs the stock 16". Since I'm going for an autoX setup, it'll likely get swapped out for a 14" wheel at some point but I'll keep this one in the stable. Maybe get a quick release setup so I can still use this one for the street

The vette wheel is a bit different, it is still a 2 spoke which allows better visibility for gauges like the Jimmy, I am assuming the fit would be the same but not sure how well the Vette wheel collar fits to my steering column. It should bolt up fine but I am thinking about the diameter of the collar. I hate have a gap or the collar be a different diameter.

OP being radio I assume . I like the fit since it is a single din and the screen articulates from the center. It comes out far enough to miss stick out pass the indented radio portion of the instrument panel and low enough not to block the HVAC controls. Having said all that, the radio is not the greatest in regards to reception but I added an FM booster to help out some, The rest of the features are "very good". for the cost it is well worth it and the only one that will really fit in the single din without a lot of hacking on the dash panel. The built in microphone sucks so I went with an external one for the hands free phone function

What head unit is that? Post a link pls if you can.

 

[87gmcburb]

the head unit is a

BOSS Audio Systems​

BVCP9700A-CFL Car Stereo System - Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Single Din With 7 Inch Touchscreen, Bluetooth and Calling Head Unit,​

FYI, this is a Boss not a Bose, for under $200 on amazon I found it works well for my needs. I also used a different back up camera as the one supplied is average at best.

Nice thanks for the link. Found that on crutchfield and was curious if it blocked hvac controls at all.

 

[87gmcburb]

this is the only one I could find that does not block the controls and still be usable
