Help with steering wheel ID
I saw this in the junk yard a couple of weeks ago, and I just assumed it was aftermarket.
Well, I was walking through the yard again today and someone had already taken it off the steering column. So, I picked it up off the floor and looked at it more closely and I see that there are factory FORD and part numbers molded into it.
Can someone tell me what this originally came on? I don't have the part numbers handy, but I can get them if it would help.
I'm guessing it's a sport wheel from something or another. I started cleaning off the surface rust off of the spokes and my friend that owns a leather shop said he can easily re-dye it black. He did a small spot on the back, and it came out really nice.
If you know what this is, please let me know.

But, that is an old emblem Ford used to use in the center cap. My parents had a 79 T Bird with it on the hood.
It's got "FORD" and some part numbers molded into the plastic in the center cap, so it is OEM.

After looking at this further, it is definately OEM.
On the inside of the horn button, there is the FORD in the oval and a part number:
3
13A805
On the inside of the wheel itself, there is a part number but I can't read the first few numbers:
0W-3D758-BWA 8
Maybe Number Dummy or someone else can help identify?
Thanks again.

I can tell you that Ford had a sport steering wheel option that looked an awful lot like that that came on 1970's Mustangs, trucks, and I think some Mavericks. I've definitely seen it before and it is OEM.

Could be from just about any 70's to 80's ford. I've seen alot in capri's and mustangs, a few in granadas.

EDIT: kinda hard to see but this wheel looks similar to the one you've got, I've got better pictures somewhere but I just did a quick look through my pile of sales lit and found this one. If I remember tonight I'll take a better look. (on another note I found a pile of 1980 ford truck service booklets I didnt even know I had!)

Yeah, I can't read the first couple of numbers because they are hidden by the metal spokes and the plastic ring doesn't come off to gain access to it.
I did some research last night and the numbers off the horn button didn't tell me much. That same number shows up for nearly all 60's through late 70's Fords.
I don't really care too much what it came off of because I'm going to be putting it in my truck. I want to paint the spokes black first though, and I didn't want to mess up what could possibly be a valuable piece to someone that needed one for a restoration.
Reproduction horn buttons go for about $100 just by itself.
