I might have a source for a NOS wheel for the 3/4 & 1-1/2 ton Dodge WC. Will send you a PM when I am sure. Did you have a preference for a steel spoke or Bakerlite type?

Failing the above. Saw this on eBay. Not NOS, however:

I'm not saying this is Dodge as I don't have one in front of me to look over (spline or not, width, etc.)
But I google - images "Industrial Steering Wheel" and 1st image I came up with was this looker here at 16" wide for only $125.
Curious as I have some stubby forklift type application at home on the wall that looks like a dead ringer for the one I paid BIG bucks ($250) for (also still on the wall) as an OEM with minor scaling of topcoat from one of the Dodge dealers a few years back. After getting her in and comparing, I like the patina on the dark green one that's on mine so I haven't bothered to swap it out. I think green were French replacements, but I'm not sure.

Point is I bet there's plenty of Industrial applications that matched the Dodge steering wheel, just like they used the Chrysler engines on many forklifts, small cranes, etc.
Anyone else have thoughts and knowledge on this subject?
