Steering wheel - Rebuild/Repair or buy new?
I just pulled the steering wheel out of my 1960 GMC with the intent to fix the cracked parts and repaint.
Upon closer inspection, it's in pretty rough shape but perhaps it is still worth salvaging? If not slavagable, are the repops good or should I find a good original one in the classifieds or ebay? Thanks for any input. - Scott |

I say restore also...I redid mine last year. It isn't that hard to do and the reward of doing it yourself is awesome.
