Title: Refresh my memory
Post by: hiball3985 on 2013-01-15 17:35
Back when I had my 57 Custom300 between '68-'71 I changed the steering wheel to one that had only a center horn button and the wheel didn't have the recess for the horn ring type. I remember pulling off a taxi cab. Were these type standard on Customs? I may have taken it off a 58, too many years ago for me to recall clearly. I'd like to find another one, not a priority, just a thought when I install the 58 box.

Thanks Guys.

Both my Ranchero and Ranchwagon have the center button horn wheel.

OK, thank you. I wonder what determined which horn you got. My Ranchero has the ring model.

That is the standard Custom 70A wheel, Courier, other base models...all the 300's, Del Rio wagons, the dressier stuff, got the one with the ring.

Thanks guys, that info will help. I doubt I'll find one anytime soon but I'll know what to look for.

I'm sure I have an extra, unless you need new show quality.  Mark

That would be great Mark! I don't need show quality, this is going to be a daily driver.
If you could PM me with a price I'll see if it's in my limited budget. Thank you

Thank you Mark, I would only need the wheel and horn button.
