leversole Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I thought I read in several places on here that an R model steering wheel would fit a B model...I saw this on EBay, the seller says it was bought for his B , but wouldnt fit, any thoughts?

Can you could chuck the wheel up in a lathe and open it up? Or somthing else...Thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/17881-steering-wheel/#findComment-72465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always rebuilt my own steering wheels for the B series and will be doing an R shortly. Easiest thing to do is install an aftermarket wheel with adapter although it looks nowhere original.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
