steering wheel color

Post by neverfinished »

I've been wondering if an M37 that was originally painted Strata Blue would have been delivered with a green steering wheel or if they would have had been black-or maybe even blue. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks guys.

Typically steering wheels came in green or black. The Air Force trucks generally have black, sometimes blue, depending on the painter.

Both of my 53's have black steering wheels. How far is Aumsville from Klamath Falls?

No time to restore them!
