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.

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

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
