Went JY hopping Saturday and saw a dentside with a green fsctory Ford steering wheel. I have never seen one in any truck I had previously seen. I spoke with the old man and he said he had sold several wheels out of these trucks that were red, green and brown. Is he full of crap or did some of these trucks have colored steering wheels?

 

I say his eyes were brown cuz he's' full of .....

 

Nope, they are probably rare as heck, but I have seen them myself. My first Dentside had a red steering wheel. It was a '73 Ranger F-100 I had in high school. I don't know if it was tied to interior trim packages or what the deal was.

 

Ford actually started using the steering wheel that we all know in the later bumpsides, I think '71 or '72 and they came in different colors. As I recall, they were available in red, blue, green and, of course, black.
When they switched to just black, it became the service replacement for the other colors.

 

I stand corrected. Interesting.

The hunt is ON!

 

My 78 SC with green interior has a green steering wheel.

 

My 77 f250 has a blue wheel. It's cracked as hell, but it's blue.

 

Well, the one in the JY is not worth buying, but now I want one. THE HUNT BEGINS!!!

 

Maybe Lariat or XLT?

 

Come to think of it, my blue 79 has a blue wheel.

 

C'mon guys... a picture is worth a thousand words. Post one will ya?!!!! The curiousity, intrigue, and suspense is killing me......

 

^^^^^^^X2!!

 

same here, I also want to know if the column color matched the wheel

 

Here you all go. I see green ones all the time at my local yards. Always falling apart though. This isn't in a truck but that's what they look like

If I remember right this truck had a red wheel and column, I am looking for interior pics.....memory don't fail me now. And I know I have seen blue also.

The truck pic is a 78 XLT with the 3 chrome rectangle button headliner and seat.
