XXL Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 After the last minute flurry of bids on that very nice steering wheel on ebay -- http://www.ebay.com/itm/221613457923 I have a feeling there are about to be a few more 520's without steering wheels as people come to realize they can sell their wheel for almost as much as the whole truck! ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 It wasn't that nice of a wheel, it had cracks all over it. I guess maybe some folks didn't know how to scroll past the 4 or 5 nice photos to the ones that showed all the damage. I have a much nicer 521 wheel than that has no cracks at all. 1 Quote Link to comment
zed1 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I think the chrome bar distracted the bidders. Does anyone know what year(s) the bar was standard? Keith 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I was out at about $70... and I felt like that was a little pricey (at least for me). Thanks to this event my horn bar sits wonky on the wheel. I've been using a wadded up Harbor Freight coupon stuffed under the left side of the bar to keep the horn contacts from resting on one another. I haven't taken the bar off, but I'm guessing there are a couple of standoffs molded into the plastic and the one of the left side of mine is probably broken off. I figured a full wheel swap would have been simple enough, rather than trying to find my year-specific horn bar. But, wayno (or anyone else)... if you happen to have the horn bar laying around you wouldn't mind letting loose of... 1 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Wow, and to think I sold one a while back with extra parts for $150. I cannot talk though I paid $225 for a pair of new old stock 66 520 wiper pivots for the rubber seals. I will run the complete NOS OEM pivots since I have them. Quote Link to comment
