Go with a wheel out of an01-02 Denali if you can find one. The leather is a slightly different color grey, but the wood grain feels oh so nice.and it's got steering wheel radio controls, which is a plus...
Also, same on the headlight switch knob, thing just melted right off when I tried to clean it, with water.

Big negative on the valence; never liked the looks of them.

I like that, is there anyway to remove the audio controls from the wheel? I won't need em I don't think.

You know you're screwed if Hobbs can't find one... LOL

That's what I was scared of, Hobbs does what I wish I had the time for, just combing yards for **** like that.

You can run those wheels with and without the controls. Only issue with the denali wheel is that the gray might not match the gray from regular suv and trucks.

I don’t go everyday..but try to every couple weeks. I also hoard a lot lol. I like to help folks out, and it puts a little coin in my pocket for my truck build. Good steering wheels are out there, gotta go to nicer urban areas. I go to yards in east St. Louis...most trucks there are beat beyond all recognition-but occasionally they get a cream puff. Also gotta remember that these trucks are starting to age..15-20 years—lots of miles on these trucks.

I was thinking the colors might be a bit off; but I'm thinking of doing a two-tone interior of sorts but I'm not sure.
I hear you on the hoarding, I've got like 3 or 4 fog lights switches, 2 clusters, a couple of underhood storage boxes, a bunch of window switches and dash bezels, and a Chevy grille. I haven't been to the pull a part in a couple months now, so when I get back from vacation I hope to make it out there.

I'm in Stuart; and unfortunately I'll be headed back to NC tomorrow. I'm gonna miss Iowa but damn, it's gonna be nice to be home.
I'm hoping I can drive my truck up one trip, but 1,200 miles in a 22 year old truck with an untouched drivetrain doesn't sound too appealing to me. Maybe I'll start looking at rebuilding the engine/trans/t-case sometime soon.

Non sense. I drove mine 1,000 miles loaded to 17,500 lbs on the stock drive train. I’d be more concerned with fuel mileage.
