I'm using a 69/70 GM column, so I don't know if this should go here or the Hi Po section. Anyway, like I said I've got a 69/70 GM column with an aftermarket custom type steering wheel. It's kind of small and very 80's looking, so I'd like to replace it with something with a little more class. It's got 6 mounting bolts in a circle, surrounding the horn button. It does have a working horn.

So is this the stock column/wheel mounting configuration for this type of column? Most custom wheels I see advertised have either three or five holes, but I never see six.

So do I need some sort of adapter, or do I need to just look for a steering wheel that has six mounting holes? I guess I need to know what I have before I can start looking for something to replace it with. Thanks!

Every aftermarket steering wheel I've ever seen needs an adapter to fit any application. That way they make more money by selling you an adapter AND they spend less by not making a thousand different variations of each model wheel to fit specific applications.

Ah, so I guess I just need to remove my steering wheel and see what kind of adapter I have. Thanks!
