AL WTB: nice Oxblood / Crimson steering wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I totally understand these are not to be found but I am trying to help another person locate the Crimson or "oxblood" colored steering wheel found in some 1969 (maybe other years?) trucks. thought it was worth a try in case someone is hoarding an NOS one or one someone got lucky and found in a camper body truck where it was incidentally sheltered from the sun....
Maybe someone just has the Crimson horn cap NOS or real nice?

There is an nos one out there (horn button).

I would try to convince the buyer to go black or saddle because the maroon or dark red was 69 only and for some reason didn't hold up well.

Even dark blue comes up more often. Also a 69 only interior color.

Happy hunting!

I would just paint a wheel to match.

That's kind of what I thought. I need a NOS oxblood horn cap and then I can paint the wheel I think. Not sure if you can really paint the horn caps or not....
