    Hi, new member here.

    So, a Chieftain has recently found a new home in my fleet, and I've just recently started tearing into it, I need some help finding something I cannot seem to locate on my own.

    A steering wheel. It currently has a very musclecaresque wheel in it and it has to go.

    To be more specific, what I would like is a big, gaudy, plastic and chrome 50's style steering wheel. Think 58' Impala, or 57' Plymouth. Is there any company out there that makes such an aftermarket wheel, or am I gonna be stuck going with some kind of chevy repro?

    010.jpg I used an Impala wheel on my 56. I didn't care for the original one

    Going to put an Impala wheel in my 56 Chieftain too. I have a couple 56 wheels if you decide to use an original.

    I've always loved the '56 Pontiac dash.

    Decided I really liked the look of the 58' impala wheel, went with that and couldn't be happier! :)
