There are kits you can buy to repair steering wheels. Eastwood has them and also the POR-15 guys.

The repros are nice because they are making them in 15" diameter.

Re: steering wheels for sale?

I got that wheel i repaired for ten dollars with the cap,that original wood wheel was hideous,this wheel was probably the most cracked wheel you could ever find,i wanted to see how it could turn out.issue now is after last night installing a new t/s switch and putting back together steering shaft is really loose,seems like a bearing is missing but cant find a breakdown in old gm parts books or anywhere with a detailed breakdown from under the wheel on down. I went with the used wheel repair route cuz im the cheapest ba$tard you will ever know? Lol
