TIA ,

best source out there I believe it is Dark green code 505. You SPID on you glove box should identify it as well.

This isn't a thread to advertise steering wheel restoration. But,while we're hijacking I have to say these steering wheels are molded in color,not painted. So,there is no paint code for their color. Besides,they were not made to match body colors,they were made to match interior colors. Also,I've seen a lot of restored steering wheels done by professional companies in the business for decades and they generally will crack again. It's a generally known fact. There is no way someone who just started repairing cracked steering wheels can know their work will not do the same thing.

as will an original non-cracked steering wheel. And you are correct..this wasn't an ad to "advertise" restored steering wheels...until people showed interest and that is referred to as "networking" Also I have restored a few steering wheels before my time with these trucks.

I asked for help here and caused topic drift , O.K. ? .

It's still about getting a decent steering wheel , I paid good $ for the wrong color repop one and no one locally wants to take on the job .

FWIW , the interior of my '69 C/10 matches the exterior exactly , every bit of it , being a base model rig .

Be glad I didn't highjack the tread to ask why oh why can't I find a 6 cylinder tach

as a 67-68 example, I just sold a wheel that had never been off the truck (previous owner had it since 71, so a little bit of assuming here) and it was painted fawn over light green.... it was GM and they did what they had to to get trucks out the door....

Amen.. It is a general discussion board.. We are having a conversation. If I for instance wanted to talk about the awesome lunar ellipse that went down and how many got to actually see it.. I hope that is acceptable..

This is true for all 67-68 wheels, but not 69-72 wheels. Sharpie

You just don't get it. It's fine to discuss whatever topic you want,as long as it's content is what's allowed here (remember our first conversation about your unsolicited,lengthy,and graphic definition of the term "qued"?). What you do is start your own thread posted in the appropriate place. For instance,the lunar eclipse is not 67-72 GM truck related so you would post that in "General Discussion". This site was designed to work a certain way and thousands of members have had no problem going along with it for many years before you came along. Why don't you take a look around and see how things are done here rather than just do things how you see fit? People who have been on this site a long time can set a good example for you,if you pay attention.

I'm done and I apologize for this type of conversation that does not belong posted in a thread,but it seems some people are setting bad examples and others are following and I'm about fed up.

I agree with you Tim, happens quite a bit. I have a FS seat thread that went way off course. But, I let it ride because it was informative. Never sold the seats though...

This bickering is ridiculous and needs to stop NOW.
