Mike Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Barry,I stubbled onto a web-site about the steering wheel. The company is J. B. Donaldson Co. out of Pheonix, Arizona. Just wondered if anyone has called them or has done business with them before? The phone # is 602-278-4505. They restore old vehicle steering wheels. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4224-steering-wheels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanscottbuilders Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Mike,If you look in Hemming's Motor News, there are usuallyseveral vendors who restore steering wheels. There is one in particular who shows at the Spring Carlisle show and swap meets. He does beautiful work, and will do thelarge Mack steering wheels. My poor memory says that the pricedidn't seem too bad either.I'll see if I can find the name and phone #, and post it ASAP.Paul Van Scott Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4224-steering-wheels/#findComment-22249 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 and 'ya know, Rob has never been known to be wrong about anything... yet.Probably won't catch me giving wrong information on the web cause if I've not been there and done that, I don't present the information as a known fact. If I do participate, it is from experience, and confidence from a firm stance.Of course there is the art of "not getting caught" too.....
