Re: Does anyone actually keep or like the stock steering wheel?

I just wish they'd repop the Sandalwood color stock wheel. Every Sandalwood colored wheel I've seen is like the one in the picture above, including mine. The plastic disintegrates. I'd love to go back in with a nice stock sandalwood steering wheel.

Yep I agree with you my sandalwood wheel disintegrated too. Would like too have the stock wheel back on my truck. I dont know why no one makes this color.

Re: Does anyone actually keep or like the stock steering wheel?

My old wheel had a couple of big gaps in it. One day I got the web of skin between my thumb & index finger stuck in said gap while making a turn, that was the end of my stock wheel. Got this one from Chevy Duty a few years back. I've been happy with it, so are my hands!

Re: Does anyone actually keep or like the stock steering wheel?

i like my OG wheel, cracks and all so far.,.it has character & feels comfortable with my power steering.,.,but if i begin to hate it or lose some skin making a turn, i'd probably do like yuccales did and get a nice repro unit.
