79 Steering Wheel
Alright...Can someone tell me why this steering wheel would not fit on a 71 Bronco column (other than the fact that it's off a '79/80-ish).
I love this steering wheel and have had my eye on a few for a bit. They're kind of hard to find.
Ready.................go.

Re: 79 Steering Wheel
It appears to be aftermarket (Grant maybe?) so there should not be any reason you couldn't get it to fit. You may have to put another adapter kit on your column to make it fit perfectly.

Re: 79 Steering Wheel
That's my first thought as well. I want that horn button for mine.

Re: 79 Steering Wheel
I believe that is the OEM Sport steering wheel which was available late 70s / early 80s.
If it is, and in good condition, they are worth some coin.
I say grab it with the assumption it can be made to fit one way or another or you could easily sell it.

Re: 79 Steering Wheel
I'm pretty sure it's OEM and a rare option on '79 or '80 Broncos and I also think they were on a lot of '79-'82 Mustangs.

Re: 79 Steering Wheel
Nice! Awesome price. I'm still looking. After my EFI purchases, the wifey put me on a strict budget; thus a kibosh on Bronco purchases in the near future.
