    I've got a wheel from a Bronco on mine.It is one of the 3 spoke sport wheels that was mentioned earlier.It is covered in a thicker padded leather and has stainless steel spokes that are brushed.I really like the way it looks and feels.My searches led me to any wheel before 1979.That is when they went to the turn signal horn.If you look at the backside and it has 3 copper rings it will work for your Maverick.I agree with the above about many being on E-bay.But they do go for more than I was willing to pay.My leather was in bad shape but I bought a kit called Connellzing (might be misspelled) which comes with a repair type filler material,cleaner and dye.I took my time and worked on it off and on for 2 weekends.I finished it by sanding with 1500 grit,then dyed.It almost looks like a new wheel.If you are going to buy one of these wheels,pay close attention to the top.That seems to be where most of the wear takes place,especially on the ones with the cushioned rubber type covering.

    Maverick73; that wheel is a Mustang wheel (Grant repop), with a Maverick door emblem glued to the hub. Turned out pretty good. Don't have a pic right now. I will put one up when I get home.
