Check with "truck-n-van-man" on eBay for a markedly improved steering wheel. Thicker wood and real leather with back finger groves. No more squishy and sticky "pleather"...and looks good too! Excellent price and incredible customer service. This is a drop-in stock replacement.
The Ford "pleather" doesn't hold up that well. Sticky!
The new wheel arrives. Thicker wood rim and real leather.
The back now has finger grooves.
Detail of the front. Nice handy work.

Fitting the interior nicely. Great feeling in the hands.
