I bought the sane steering wheel for my maverick. Those original ford steering wheels are worth a pretty penny . There are companies out there that restore them too.
Just wanted to let you know (I'm an old electronic hobbyist and amateur radio operator) that the grease that you used IS absolutely the right stuff for that kind of contact issue. Any and everytime that two (or more) wires are brought together (like in a crimp/pressure type commector) in any vehicle that may be subjected to water, moisture, or humidity like would be found in cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, trailers, & etc., this stuff will save you much grief later on down the road! When you clean off those battery terminals, put a thin coating of that grease before tightening down the bolts and you'll see either no or much less corrosion in the future. This is especially critical on crimp-on connectors!!! Another great video, BTW. Keep up the good work!!! :^)
Hey Griff ? just an FYI buying new skin for your bench seat and putting it on is easier than you think , either do it in warm bright sun light or have a heat gun.hair dryer handy ..wheel looks cool !
Thanks for the video. I bought pretty much the same wheel for a very similar application: mid '60's Ford Thunderbird. Mine looks like a slightly different setup and kit than you have for yours. Your horn only had one wire, and mine had two. They sent me an extra piece in the kit, so I guess it was because of this. Question though: Did they send you the roll pins to use for turn signal cancellation? I noticed you didn't install them even though you have the same Ford turn signal cancellation mechanism that I have in my T-Bird (the flexible plastic piece that the turn signal lever connects to.) I tried to use the original factory turn signal cancellation piece that activates this mechanism (I saw you had a similar piece on your original steering wheel) but the clearances weren't right to use it with the kit. I had to use the roll pins with the kit for activating the mechanism. My turn signals are now cancelling with the pins supplied, but I wanted to see if you had the same kind of experience I did (wanted to make sure I installed them right.) Your steering wheel looks great. I'm pretty sure mine is made by the same company. They do a good job, though I wish the instructions were a little better.
If I remember right, I had to manually turn the turn signals off when making a turn in this truck. So that must have been because of the way I installed my wheel. Thanks for watching!
@@billmillsaps4431 If you're asking where I got the wheel, I got it from an eBay vendor. The guy's handle is staghound, and he still seems to be selling stuff. Good luck.
It’s 15” I bought the exact same one on eBay a few weeks ago and it looks beautiful in person I found this video and noticed it’s exactly like the one I bought so this video was extra helpful since it’s the same steering wheel
It would been nice if he would hzve showed the direction of nut on stealing week comes off so many people think the nut is reversed thread h as be Sean them beat all to peace’s from ppl trying to remove. The nut
