My plastics are dry brittle so I need them!
Please let me know. Massachusetts.

Contact Jonathan: Ford F834, via email. In the past, he has had numerous horn pads and steering wheel components. He brought some to the truck show in Skiatook 2 years ago.

He is very reasonable and trust worthy.

I have horn pads, but most are from Econoline vans and have the oak looking woodgrain and black edges. I bought them for possible hydro dip or for switch parts. The 80-84 rosewood type is difficult to find in good shape. I may have one or two but I remember them to be pretty rough. I will try to have a look through my parts later and message you some pictures to see if there is anything that could help you.

Edit: thank you David for pointing me to this thread and kind introduction 🙂

Thank you to you guys.
I am sure that what you have is better than what I have!
I need every brittle plastic including that piece it all snaps into.
The rubber is fine.
Thanks!

UGH!
I just need the plastics.

I'm sure 190 bucks is what the wheels are worth complete, but that is too rich for me right now.
Thanks very much for the link.

This is a very nice used example David! The little trumpet icons on the horn bar suggest this came from an econoline van. The little vertical wear marks at the ends of the buttons may have come from a lace-on steering wheel cover? Nice find đź‘Ť

Really, I mainly need the black plastic piece which the outer parts attach to.
The outside pieces need glue, and I am hoping maybe I can revive the dry plastics by submerging them in a bunch of armor all. Maybe it will work. I have nothing to loose. The wheel itself it great, as is the center rubber.
Just a DYI, super glue, mixed with baking soda makes an amazing high-build glue. There are YouTube vids on it.
If anyone has a better idea to remedy the brittleness of the plastics, please let me know. Thanks.

Scored some parts!
I found the steering wheel plastics for 20 bucks locally.
The guy is selling me a guage cluster and dash pad for 50.  Only the speaker area is messed up on it and mine is a mess.

Now on the guage, I bought it just for the Tach. But it is out of a diesel so the tach is likely much different. I will attach a picture.  My question is, is the range the same on the gas models? Obviously the red line zone would be wrong but that's not a problem.

Unfortunately, the diesel tach responds to a different set of signals and is not compatible with a gasoline engine. I've tried.

I was afraid of that. Thanks. I guess I will just buy it, sell it, and use the profits to get the correct tach then.

I picked these up yesterday at the treasure trove with you in mind.

The two of them came out of the same '82 Bronco XLT. I also got the under hood toolbox and work light.

This bronco even had the CB and power mirrors. The CB and mirror's controls all seemed to be a bit crispy.

This was an incredibly high optioned Bronco, shame it was only a 302.

What you cannot see in the pictures, the shifter indicator line is cracked, you should still have the one on your existing cluster. Second some mud bees had started keeping house in this unit over the years. Most of the mud is out, but there is still some left. I'm sure you's want to take it apart to clean it up real nice and paint the needles fresh anyway. Third the soft rubber of the horn pad will probably need some attention or may be past its prime. As I remember you are looking for the rigid plastic parts anyway.

If you are interested in the pad and I/C cluster, is $50 and shipping a workable number.

Let me know.
