I have an original that I took off my truck. It isn't in that good of shape, but it is original. It has a crack above the horn button and one on the left and right sides of the wheel. It also has a crack on the bottom of the wheel. Like I said, it isn't in very good shape, but it is original. Let me know if you want a picture of it. I also have the horn button, but it is faded.

72highlander. i will keep that in mind. if his price happens to soften up a little let me know. thanks john

72highlander · 02-14-2008, 04:46 AM

i know this guy all to well, it's firm. i don't think i'd pay it, but i thought i'd pass it along in case you wanted one that badly.

72highlander · 02-14-2008, 04:48 AM

something looks a little fishy to me on that ebay wheel. nearly all of the grain is gone, yet the color is great. looks to me like it may have been re-dyed.

**pound41** · 02-14-2008, 06:41 AM

I noticed the way the wheel looked different as well. I need a green wheel to but I am not at that stage yet. A few weeks back there was one on ebay that was awesome I bid on it and it went for around $ 300

drunkbus · 02-14-2008, 06:55 AM

I am pretty sure that ebay one has been painted. My Blazer has the dark olive interior and that color green on the ebay wheel looks off.

MrGoodpliers · 02-14-2008, 07:42 AM

Ditto on the ebay wheel. Looks like a refinish job.

budnikguy · 02-14-2008, 07:47 AM

I have one that I am pulling from my '72 Suburban, it is original..give me a couple days and I will post pics!!

we have one on the olive green 71 thats getting primed, i believe the stock wheel is going to be changed. I'll check tomorrow on it and get you a price.

Rick

went and looked at the pics, it's already been changed. I will however check and see if he has one around.

72highlander · 02-14-2008, 08:47 AM

if you want to tell me what you would give, i'll pass it along to him for you, you never know.

ill send you a pm

here is what the ebay guy replied to me about the paint.

"you know its hard to tell I looked at the metal in the hub I can't tell if it was but the horn button looks like the red in it has been touched up, not really sure"

not so sure i believe him he has a 67-68 wheel too that was obviously refinished. and the paint in the green one looks to metalic like too me.

jc · 02-22-2008, 06:56 PM

Anybody yet?

**special-K** · 02-22-2008, 07:07 PM

Jc,I`d expect to pay $500 for one if you find one.So,if this guy won`t budge I`d consider giving it to him.I have a saddle one that I wouldn`t take less than $500 for,if I planned on selling it.I paid $325 for it in`91 and was just happy and amazed to find one.I doubt there ever was much of a surplus on the colored wheels.There were black-only available from the dealers as replacement parts by the time I ever started scrounging N.O.S.(around 1980)
