You can get one of the epoxy kits that's for filling in the cracks from a number of vendor.
But guess it just depends what you want out of a fix it yourself kit and how bad and type of wheel.71-76 Wheels seem **** to cracking since there just 2 spoke. I found a nice wheel on a 1975 motor home with no cracks. for $12 buck about 5 yrs ago. But if you want a wheel like for a nice show truck then. I wouldn't waste my time..

Same two spoke steering wheels: 1971/77 F100/350 (except 1975/77 with Cruise Control) / 1974/77 Bronco / 1975/77 Econoline (except with Cruise Control).
Originally the 1971/73 steering wheels were available in four colors. In 1974, Ford replaced them all with D4TZ-3600-A which is black.
This D4TZ wheel is the one that Carpenter reproduces.
