WTB 72 steering wheel
I am in need of a very nice steering wheel for a 1972, must be saddle colored. I dont need NOS, but close to show condition would be good.
Let me know what you have, and please give price including shipping to 55944. Thanks, Chris H. |

That's tough request for OE used. Saddle/tan wheels seem to crack and deteriorate to a greater degree than black or green. Not sure why, could be the dye? Blue wheels are often junk before there time too.
Good luck, have you considered a repro?

Is there a lighter saddle and a darker saddle?
I see repro dark saddle, but haven't seen light saddle? I would go repro, but then that kicks off a complete interior restoration! A little age will keep with the theme of the truck I am working on. |

Yes, the darker color is all that is available from what I've seen as well.
I did not want to discourage you in your quest. I was just piping in with an observation I've made. I'm sure your wheel is out there somewhere.

just buy the new repros.. they are far better, wont crack. looks just like the original ones... just be sure to get a new button too, the old ones look funny with the new wheel! ....these are worth the money..

NOS Saddle Wheel
I do have a NOS saddle wheel for sale (?$). The lighter color tan is called Sandalwood and is not reproduced. If you need a Saddle wheel please contact me.
