WOOO HOOOOO...I think Tim Allen was right. In one of his older stand up bits, he said a man gets more excited over the sound of the little brown truck ( https://www.ups.com/images/nav/global/nav2_pickup_off_a.gif ) than anything else in a normal day to day life.
Well, I hear the truck from a block away and went running out to greet the friendly (NOT) driver, turned out, he was not there yet so i stood in the road waiting for him.
Anyyy hooooo, I got me a 67/68 steering wheel for the Longhorn. http://classicheartbeat.com.westserver.net/ubb/biggrin.gif All I need to do is fill a couple cracks, paint it, and come up with a horn button retaining ring, and I'll be set.
..............................JUNK YARD TIP!!!!!!!................................
I discovered that the 67/68 steering wheel was used in the larger trucks up till AT LEAST '76. We have a '76 C/70 Fire Truck in the shop, and not only the wheel is the same, but the pedal pads, and gas pedal, and the back window looks just like the 67 small window too.
