I sort of cheated, because I like the earlier OEM steering wheels (67-69?) better than the original one that came with my 1971 truck. I was surprised how nice the older one fit, matched the interior, and the horn even works. The metal cup used with the horn button is a different height from the later version.
I would have left the original steering wheel in my truck, but it was all melted near the steering column. I'm assuming from the sun.
I really dislike the looks of the modern non-OEM looking steering wheels. Everyone's taste is different, and I think that makes it more fun.
My truck is a 3/4 long bed fleet side GMC. A lot of people don't want that version of these trucks. I call it a "truck truck". It isn't trying to be sports car. I just really like it, and it is usable.
Take care, JP
