My truck had the remnants of a hard rubber steering wheel in it when I got the truck. I found a pretty good one on ebay a few years back and it was replaced. I like the rubber wheel.

Hi 777 AAA

Can you 'buy' that wheel off the Chevvy?

Except for the Chevrolet M-6 bomb Svc truck w/smaller wheel, the 4X4 chevrolet went thru the same evolution and uses same part number as CCKW.

The Canadian Military Pattern Chevys used a wooden 18" wheel that looks similar to a CCKW wooden wheel.interesting to note the CMP rubber wheels are totally different to a CCKW ones,the obvious thing being the CMP one has four spokes.

I had several CMP's at one point but all have now moved on,one is now restored.
