Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 22 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 22 | Have been trying to find a tan leather lace steering wheel cover for an 18 inch wheel on my Thriftmaster.
All I can find so far are covers that are black. Thought a tan used to be available through Truckline.
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

the problem with mine is all the finish is worn off. any type of moisture and my hands end up being black which then so does my pants.

I believe I saw a black one on the LMC part site.
Truckline Sport Grip has an 18 inch leather lace cover but only in black for now. They are no longer producing the tan or gray one. Trying to find a retailer that may have an old tan or gray one in stock.
No problem finding a cover in smaller sizes but for us with vintage trucks that doesn't solve the problem.
Hope this helps. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,410 ODSS President | | ODSS President Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,410 | Make one, not difficult. Search Joy, she's a forum moderator, she made one for her wheel, posted the process here.
