Hey Guys:
On my Eagle, I still have the large (I think 24") steering wheel, and would like to have one of the smaller (is it 22"?). Does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement, maybe off a junk truck or something? If so, are all wheels interchangable, or is there a particular brand? Would any of you happen to have a spare one lying around that you want to part with? Any suggestions would be helpful. |

Hey Kyle isn't that something my 75, GMC 4905 spent its whole life with Evergreen also. Said she only went to Nevada for her whole time until she was converted by a fellow in Corning, CA.

Hey Buddy,
There are several style steering wheels available. It depends on the spline count and column... you will have to know this info. or you could take your coach to a place that sells them and they could match one up for you.

larry,
that is something. small world, right? my bus spent her early days running from SeaTac airport to the cruise terminals in vancouver canada, then in about 1987 she was used exclusively to shuttle Holland America Line passengers from SeaTac to the Seattle cruise terminal before she was retired in 1994. then she was converted by the Finley Family bluegrass group out of southern oregon. if you look at the rear baggage doors on her just right you can still read the DOT #'s. what was your 4905's fleet number?

Buddy also Grabhorn near Portland, OR used to handle new and used steering wheels and tilt steering posts, and about anything else for buses.

My two 4905's have different size factory steering wheels, and both have power steering.Maybe Eagles had this option available also, and some Eagle owner on the board may have a spare smaller one that they replaced with one of the VIP ones. |
