Looking for a stock steering wheel...what fits a 74 f100?

The PO (or maybe the one before that) put on a tiny grant wheel, and I want to put it back to stock (or at least closer to stock), but I don't want to pay for a new one from a vendor. What years and models should I look for? Do all 73-79 wheels fit? I'd need the whole thing, wheel, horn, turn signal cancel cam, etc...Thanks!

D4TZ3600A .. Black Steering Wheel / Reproduced by Dennis Carpenter.

Original applications:

1971/77 F100/350 except 1975/77 F100/350's with factory installed Speed Control.

1973/77 Bronco / 1975/77 Econoline except with Speed Control.

There is no horn ring used after 1970. 1971/77's (and later) use a vinyl horn pad. The type for 1971/77's is the same, but w/Speed Control is different.

The TSS is the same 1973/77, but with manual or auto trans makes a difference. The Speed Control switch is also different.

Any 73-79 should work.

Your PO and my PO must be related... my rig had a tiny 13-inch Grant wheel on 35s and NO power steering. It was quite a workout until I retrofitted a 79 integral PS system.

Numberdummy is on the money....78s and 79s use a different style turn signal cancel cam. The wheel will fit but the turn signals won't cancel. I run a 79 Bronco wheel with the fancy faux burl inlay. Purty. Seems that turn signals in CA are treated as optional anyway...

DC had a blemished early wheel for $100 a couple of months back. 'might be worth a look. Don't forget that it doesn't come with a horn pad... more cha-ching.

I'd have to look. I might have my column out of my 76 ,& I may have another out back of my shop. The second time the aluminum shift collar crapped out ,I upgraded to a 78/79 style column...

IF YOU LOOK IN A JUNKYARD CHECK THE ECONOLINES (VANS) I THINK THEY FIT THE STEERING WHEELS OF OUR DENTS EVEN IF THEY´RE 80´S MODELS GOOD LUCK!

All very helpful, thanks!

OrFordGuy, I'll post a photo of the wheel later today if I can. A trade would be great!
