Return PolicyChevrolet’s Advance-Design (AD) light and medium duty pickup trucks launched the 1947 Chevy truck model with much fanfare. These post-war trucks were very popular when new, becoming the best-selling truck every year that it was in production. Powered by an inline six and either manual or automatic transmission, you could find them in quarter, half, and one-ton models in both standard and short bed derivatives, and the design was even used for the Suburban and panel truck variants.
Today this generation full size Chevrolet pickup (and it’s GMC variant) are popular for all manner of builds, from stock-style restos to LS swapped “restomods,” and more. The AD’s dash originally featured a fixed steering column with a standard 18-inch Chevy truck steering wheel, flanked by a pair of large round instruments. This dash styling has complimented the exterior design very well, however, as owners have upgraded their trucks with GM tilt columns from the salvage yard, or direct fit aftermarket tilt columns, the aftermarket steering wheels for Chevy trucks with these columns weren’t always a great fit visually. We think the original classic chevy steering wheel has great styling and goes extremely well with the dashboard, so why not keep it but make it work with these columns? This led us to design our 15-inch AD series Chevy truck steering wheel you see here.
We created this all new classic chevy steering wheel for the 1947-1954 AD series pickups to provide that great period look but in a smaller 15-inch diameter that pairs well with trucks that have been upgraded with power steering where that larger 18-inch wheel’s leverage is excessive. Knowing how popular a tilt steering column upgrade is, we designed our new aftermarket Chevy steering wheel with a standard 1969-1994 GM center spline to easily mount to your GM tilt column or aftermarket tilt column without the need for a steering wheel hub adapter.
Not all reproduction vintage steering wheels are made the same. Just like the original 1947 Chevy truck steering wheel (only with a smaller diameter) our wheel features a welded steel steering wheel core and spokes for strength that is then placed in an accurate mold of the original wheel’s design and molded with OE like satin black polymer materials. The scaled down aftermarket Chevy steering wheel design is so accurate it even allows the use of your original or reproduction horn contact plate and horn center cap for that perfectly correct look, but with the preferred diameter for easier ingress/egress of the cab and steering control with power assist. The rear of the steering wheel has been formed to match the column diameter for a seamless factory appearance.
No matter if you’re considering upgrading to a power steering kit or perhaps a full front suspension kit with power rack-and-pinion steering, this new AD series 15-inch steering wheel is the perfect compliment to the tilt column you plan to use compared to any other aftermarket steering wheels for Chevy trucks.

Customers appreciate the product's usability and material quality, particularly noting its practicality for people requiring more space between the steering wheel and seat. The product is ideal for modification projects, fitting well and looking original on vintage cars. The smaller size received positive comments for facilitating better maneuverability compared to oversized original wheels. The spline pattern matches the original, indicating meticulous design. The finish of the wheel was appreciated by some, but others found it needing refinement for high-end builds. However, even with minor room for improvement, customers would buy again due to the product's performance and well-constructed design.

Fits, looks original.
I put this on my 1950 Chevy 3100 as an alternative to the original 18 inch wheel which was not in very good shape. It's nice having a little more room with this 15 inch wheel, and the spline pattern is the same as original. I will have to fashion an escutcheon to fit between the column and the bottom of the new steering wheel, which I knew about as the tech-support person informed me ahead of time.

Innovative product from Speedway
This is a great product for those of us who are modernizing their classic Chevy or GM trucks. With modern features like power steering, there's no need for the oversized original diameter steering wheel. The design replicates the original wheel very nicely, but the out of box finish is not great. If you're driving a rat rod style truck, no problem! But for my build, I will need to bodywork and refinish the wheel before I mount it for good. Right out of the box, there is a large parting line from where the 2 halves of the injection mold comes together. This parting line runs around the entire circumference of the wheel. When I called Speedway tech support, they said all of the wheels are like this, so it wasn't just the wheel I received. Overall, nice product, but will need to be refinished if being used on higher end builds.

I expected to see a little bit better quality for the price. It is good, but it feels a little bit cheap in your hand once you get it in my opinion

We were doing a restomod on my Dad's truck and his steering wheel was cracked. This allowed us to keep the look he had and allowed more room in the cab.
