I like the idea of keeping things original, and have considered re-painting my steering wheel, but I have an easier suggestion for others who just need the keep a truck working. I knew it was time to do something when the steering wheel started turning my hands black because the paint had worn off the black rubber. But at that point, I barely had time to keep the truck running without taking on the task of removing the wheel and going through the process of preparing and painting it with something that would last. So I bought a cheap, leatherette cover and laced it on. This has worked great. It makes the wheel more comfortable, provides a better grip, and doesn't get so hot in the sun or cold in the winter. Now that I am older and have a little more time, I am still thinking of painting the wheel but would then put the cover back on it.
