1984-1987 Regal base/Limited steering wheels

I know some of the A-Body FWD Century models came with the boomerang-style wheel. I’m not sure if the mounting bolt pattern is the same, though.

Would that be refering to the mounting of the center pad?

Well, never thought of that, but that's a valid point too.

Appearance wise the FWD A-body and G-Body wheel look the same, but if the column mount/hub is different, perhaps the center pad mount would be different as well?

GM wheels all should mount the same onto the column. My 4 spoke wheel is off an '80's Cavalier & the same as used on '70's A, F, H bodies. Grab a complete wheel off one car & put it on another unless I miss understood the posting.

If that's the case, the Century wheel should be another viable choice. People tend to overprice G-Body stuff when it's off a G-Body anyway, even if it's something they took off and were going to throw away when they modify one into a hot rod.

And yes, it's the wheel itself I'm referring to. Pads varied through the years, that doesn't matter. The pad is fine and can be reused, you would have to live in Arizona or intentionally mutilate one to make those go bad.

Since it's about the wheel itself, you can directly use any '69 up non airbag wheel, RWD or FWD. Even '68 & about '63 would even work with a gap between the wheel & column. Basicly it is almost any Buick wheel from our era will be a likely good source to find a replacement wheel. One of the perks of GM interchangeablity.

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

i sold mine a while ago but you are looking for something like my original one in the first picture.
I have now eliminated all of the wood grain in my Regal with the new interior.

First pic in this post was exactly what my car looked like, cept mine wasn't O/D, didn't have a tape deck, and had rubber mats.
