If you wanted to just buy a re-popped wheel (in your choice of black only) and repaint it, I think that is pretty easy. Here is a thread fom the H.A.M.B. showing the basics of how it’s done.

It's not the color

It's that style I'm looking for, with the metal ring inside at the bottom. It's the style I'm looking for.. Carpenter, etc. don't show that style, just basic 3 ring. I see the metal inside rim piece on lots of classic restorations.. Thx

Same 3 spoke 17" steering wheel and horn ring: 1960/63 Falcon/Comet; 1961/66 F100/250 2WD; 1966 F100 4WD; 1967/70 F100/250 2WD/4WD; 1969/70 F350.

Cheapie Falcon/Comet and Standard Cabs came with a horn button. Deluxe Falcon/Comet, F100/250 Custom Cabs and 1965/70 Rangers came with the horn ring.

1966/73 Bronco's used the same wheel, but had a unique horn ring. These wheels were originally available in colors, but only the black wheel is reproduced, as is the horn ring (by Carpenter).

Pic in post #1 shows a 1968/70 with the painted argent horn ring. This was done to reduce glare. There is no chrome under the paint!

Here's a picture of the separate horn ring for the 3-spoke steering wheels.

I know there's no chrome

Under the paint. There is chrome in the bottom middle. Is that from the Falcon series? What yrs and where to find 3 spoke with the chrome ring inside bottom?

I just told you!
Look at Chad's pic in post #6 .. This is the same horn ring that I listed the applications for in post #5. It is not from the 1950's, it was introduced in 1960 Falcon/Comet.

Circa 1967 & 1968/70: The ring was painted argent to reduce glare.

I bought one of these for my 1965 F100 in the early 1980's, began to stripe off the argent paint, was disgusted to discover bare metal, there was no chrome.

Yes that is what is being said. You purchase a steering wheel and then you purchase the horn ring and install it on your new steering wheel. If you want a red wheel you need to paint it or die it.

Yes, here's a picture of just the steering wheel. This was an original blue wheel in good shape that I repainted Beige for my truck. Same wheel can be used with either the horn button or the horn ring like I posted a picture of above.
