I swear, I think the 67/68 steering wheel is made better than the later model ones. The later ones seem more prone to heavy cracking. I just bought an original 67/68 steering wheel, and it only has a couple smaller cracks that I'll fill and then paint. I plan to install it in my '69. Still need to find a horn button, which is turning out to be a pain because they don't make them anymore. Got in a bidding war on EBay with a guy who felt it was normal to spend like $60-$70 on a horn button with shipping. Nope. He can have it. It wasn't even in that great of shape

I'm with everyone else here, I love your truck too!!! I wish now I wouldn't flat blacked mine. But mine had a black bed, and a gray RH fender, light green RH door, gray hood, gray cowl, and everything else med. olive green w/ white roof.

With all those colors you had going on, I think you did the right thing. Patina is more for original fenders, doors, and such, which is why a patina bed in the color you need can be so valuable

By the way, thanks for the motivation on the mirrors. They came in today, and I got them installed. Love the look

And, my 67/68 wheel like yours arrived and I restored it and painted it
