Re: Reproduction steering wheel question
I bought a repro wheel in '01 and after a few years it cracked and separated at TDC. I could see the rod stock used in the rim was half the size of OEM. It would flex way more than the OEM. At some point a new batch got made and those were said to be more firm but I haven't heard anything beyond that. I'm sure someone here has or has had one to tell how well they hold up. They've been out a good while now.
EDIT: Other Larry might have other wheel on other truck
