Hello,
Can someone please help me identify the steering wheel that the 58-59 Viking came with, was it the 3 shaft centre like the apache or a 2 shaft centre?

I have heard that they are like the apache but not as deep?

Any pics would be appreciated along with size and possible places to source .

greatly appreciated

Mathew

Hy 1958Viking, all of the Chevrolet trucks I have seen built after 1956 and up to 1959 have had the three spoke depressed steering wheel, hope that helps.

The Apache and Viking use the same 18" 3-spoke steering wheel...Charcoal p/n 761141...the Cameo's and Suburban's would have had the same size wheel, but it was colored to match the interior. The Spartan's (Series 7, 8, 9 &10) would have a 20" 3-spoke wheel.

Thank you very much for the clarifications, greatly appreciated.
I will now try to find one of these bad boys to finish off the interior smile Has anyone used a reproduction one and do they resemble the originals?
John would love to see those pics if you get the chance

Steering wheel pics. The Viking are a little dark. Both Apache and Viking measure the same 18" diameter and about 2 to 2.25 depth to horn button.[img]https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/20586/filename/Apache Steering Wheel 2.JPG[/img]
