I get all my U.S. merchandise sent to a good friend in Maine. It's fairly easy for me to run down there, pick up my order, and pay the applicable sales taxes at the border. Saves me a lot of money not having to pay duty and brokerage fees.
Thanks for the horn cap offer, but this wheel is the 2 spoke 69-72 version, which uses the plastic horn cap.

Cheers,
Pete

Not too familiar with all the differences of each year. I ordered my Horn Cap part # 15601584 through the General. I'm going to use this 67' wheel on the 70' as I think it looks a bit more like it belongs in a truck. My steering wheel now (stock 70' wheel) is nice enough to look like it belongs in a car. I also like the feel of the old wheels a bit better. (IMHO)

esll.
