Does anybody know where to get high quality leather steering wheel wraps? I looked around at the parts stores and found only crappy quality leather.
 
I had the same problem.I couldn't find good quality material or the right color,so I made my own.It was pretty easy.All you need is a sewing machine,thread,material,punch,cord for lacing and a few beers.

Google "leather steering wheel cover" and you will find several suppliers. They make them for big trucks and most will fit the stock early Ford steering wheel.

Yeah im checking out some of the links right now. very wide selection! Thanks, TJ! :D
 
If you check your Hemmings, you will find a fellow in the Portland, Oregon. area that does just that. I have seen his ads in Hemmings and maybe in Street Rodder also.
 
Check the previous post on steering wheel covers and check the site for Wheelskins. I think that is what you need.
 
Go to Wheelskins. They will make up any size you need. I had one made up for my 54 Ford and it fit perfect. You provide the dimensions.
 
Yeah i checked out wheelskins. i like that company, my friend bought a wrap from them and it looked and felt pretty good... but when it comes to wheel wraps, I'm a bit picky. ha ha i love the look and feel of the one in this thread http://fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78257 (post 7) my dad had an old Chrysler van with wrap just like those. so I'm on the search for something almost exactly like that. But thanks everybody for your input! Much appreciated!!
 
Hey '49......

I bought the Wheelskin kit for my '40 and wrapped the wheel yesterday. Very good quality and took about an hour to do. Really looks and feels good.
