I have one on mine and had one on another Bronco several years ago. No pictures and I will not be home until next week to be able to take any. PM me next Thursday and I will send you the pictures.

Now that I think about it I believe these steering wheels came on some mid to late 70's model Ford trucks.

Also looks like the one that came on the first Fox body mustangs--'78 and up. I have one, except the spokes are black. It's on my '66 column laying in the corner of the shop.

They were offered optionally on lots of Ford products in the late '70s and early '80s. Everything from Mustangs to Pintos to F-Series and FSBs (maybe even Fairmonts and Granadas too).

I checked into them at one point, but a couple of negatives:

1. The diameter of the hub is bigger than the EB's column, so it would look like a mis-match.

2. A lot of the ones you find for sale on eBay are from Ford products that had the horn button on the end of the turn signal stalk, so there's no horn switch in the center of the wheel, just an emblem. About half the sellers admit this; others you have to inquire. One even replied with something like "Well, I'll be damned. There IS no horn switch!"

I found that ones in nice condition with functional horn button went for $200 or more. I ended up going the Grant route instead.

Stroppe-envy is correct on both of those. Nice looking wheel-but..... That's why I had a horn hooked to my washer button for 15 years.

I didnt know they would be mismatched on the hub on the bronco either way i want one for my 76 or 78 pickup or heck it would even fit on the 78 bronco. I just like the fact that it was a Ford offered steering wheel with the center cap horn is not an issue.

I saw that one on ehay that is where the picture came from, that ebay page. The seller didnt want to work on price and that is the max price I would pay but it would have to be cherry.

I have these steering wheels on three broncos. They work great - easy to see the gauge cluster. The down side is that the horn does not work on any of them. If anyone knows a way to get the horn working with this wheel chime in (other than a button mounted somewhere).

I have one on mine, I took it off my 80 Mustang. It doesn't fit the EB column just right but I still like it.

I think these are the ones you're looking for. The one on the left is from a FSB and has the horn mech. Right one is from an '80s Fox body Mustang and no horn mech.
