This is an original steering wheel for a \"Bulldog\" Mack AC (the company was first known as International Motors). The rim (grip) of the wheel is vulcanized rubber over canvas (I have never located anyone to restore or duplicate it). This one would not require replacement of the rubber rim!!!! It doesn\'t appear to be cracked. Someone has slathered varnish or some type of clear coat over it. But I think once it was carefully removed it would reveal a wonderful original Bulldog rubber wheel. Note the cast initials \"IM\" on the center of the throttle lever. The steering wheel comes complete with the throttle lever, spark-advance lever, quadrant and large mounting nut (which secures the steering wheel to the column). The teeth on the backside of the quadrant appear nice and sharp as well.IMPORTANT: Shipping only in USA, shipping charges include professional packing by the UPS Store and enough insurance to cover loss or damage by carrier, buyer has responsibility of filing claim if there is an issue.Given the rarity of this hard-to-find steering wheel, special care will be taken to help ensure a safe journey to the buyer.Paypal only please, item will ship within 5 business days of completed payment.To avoid any misunderstandings, ask questions before you offer, as the sale is clearly “as is”.Good luck & Happy offerding.The heavy duty AC, with its well known tapered hood, was the truck which started the bulldog theme. A 377 cu in (6.2 L) 4 cylinder gasoline engine 4X2 with chain drive, it was strong, reliable, and worked well in rough terrain. Introduced in 1916, there was a great demand because of World War I, over 6000 3 1/2, 5 1/2, and 7 1/2 ton trucks were built for the UK and US military. There were also commercial sales from 1916, the AC was well suited for logging and construction work. A larger version, the AP, built between 1926 and 1938, was an off-road haul truck used on Boulder dam and other large projects. 40,299 ACs had been built when production ended in 1939.
