Re: WTB super nice Black Steering wheel 69-72
I think this is about as nice an original as you will find: NO cracks or stress marks, nice deep grain, no smooth worn spots, no scrapes, even pattern around the rim.................................

Re: WTB super nice Black Steering wheel 69-72
Isn't the grain supposed to continue around the rim like this reproduction?

Re: WTB super nice Black Steering wheel 69-72
Good eye! Yes, mine has the grain all the way around the top part of the rim.

Re: WTB super nice Black Steering wheel 69-72
This is the BEST original black steering wheel I have ever come across...just like Frank's. It is not for sale, but just as a reference. You will need a true, in-the-box NOS wheel IMO, to get one with the grain unworn all the way around the top part of the rim. That would be an awesome find

Re: WTB super nice Black Steering wheel 69-72
Thanks, I might just buy a repop then....the blue one I have looks really nice. Unless I find an NOS one for a reasonable price...
Before I pull the trigger for a repop...I have time before I need it so I'll keep this bumped up to see if I find an elusive original with grain still on it.

Re: WTB super nice Black Steering wheel 69-72
Hi Jonathan, is there more than one company producing the repops? The one I had didn't seem quite right, seem to flex too much and cracked badly and quickly at the hub. Let me know if there is another brand I should be looking at. I bought mine from a board member. Not sure, but I'm guessing it was LMC. Sharpie

I actually called Gary (cheyenne super man) and he said there was a big problem with the repops 6-7 years ago but he's had a lot of success with the recent revisions if that helps you any.

The repops seem to have a much deeper exagerated grain. I think there is one company "making" the repops. |

I'd buy it if I were you if it's reasonably priced. You can always paint the bowtie blue. Or, wait, I've seen some pretty blue bowtie nice caps offered at times on here or eBay.

Re: WTB super nice Black Steering wheel 69-72
the yellow caps were on the later vans that used the 69-72 style wheel.
