Default 76 Steering Wheel
THANX Chevy for the brainstrom of having the 76 vette use the same steering wheel as the chevy Vega.

Has anyone with a 76, tilt/tele been able to change the steering wheel without too much hassle? Much hassle? Lots of hassle? AT ALL?

Plastic lives forever!!

I agree why do we have to call it the vega wheel when the same wheel came on camaros SS chevelles etc.

I figure if you own a 76' your not interested in calling it a "VEGA" wheel,
but everyone else will !!!
