My li'l squarebody (1991 S10 Blazer)

I hated those about my '81.

Those T-Tops were on the Marlboro Syclone. Only made 10 of them.

I forgot your '81 had them.

I was going to mention what those t-tops are in, but I thought maybe you wanted everyone else to guess first, haha.

I"ve been going to ask, and since where in the S-10 Blazer thread. Is the 4 spoke steering wheel in the smaller Blazers the same size as the Squarebody trucks? I'm going to 4 spoke the 85, but wouldn't mind a bit smaller steering wheel. My giut is starting to grow. Nowhere near touching but I like space. I don't like feeling claustraphobic behind a steering wheel.

Same size as far as I know. But came in leather wrapped on Blazers and Jimmys.

Yes, I knew it was leather wrapped. I think I'll just go with a SB 89-91 wheel then. I prefer NOT to have lether wrapped but would do it for an inch or 2 smaller wheel.

They're all the same wheel, just different textures.

I'm pretty sure I've actually seen leather wrapped on a SB Burb before too.

Conversions sometimes had them. But never factory. Leather wrapped rims were on S/T Blazer and Jimmy and full leather wrapped were on Typhoons and Sonoma GTs.

So under the leather on my SGT wheel is a regular truck wheel? They must add some filler under there or something.

Between the S-trucks and full size trucks, there is a plain 4-spoke, a fake leather 4-spoke, and finally the real leather 4-spoke from the little Blazers and Jimmies. All are the same diameter.

Yep.

Yep.

That's crazy, it doesn't really look like it. Of course, it doesn't look like a Sunbird cluster when it's mounted in the dash either.

You'll notice you're using a Chevrolet horn button, where do you think that came from?

I just figured it was two different wheels that were designed to use the same cap. I think I got that smooth cap from an Astro van, I painted the letters red.

 

[RetroC10Sport]

No sir, PAS used the existing steering wheel and had it fully leather wrapped.

They certainly did a good job

This is the wheel that came on the 85 K10, and I also have one of these in the back of the K10. I think that's where it must be, cuz it's not here at the house anywhere.
