4107s had the neatest wheels, they were white. Mine is painted black but some of the black is wearing off.

  what you all think ?  yes or no  thanks john

Yes. 

Btw, I also think you should start a thread in the project section. I really enjoy reading about your build, even though I am usually quiet.

God bless,

personally i would use a 1950 ish buick, or cad or pontiac ... have a 1950  or so pontiac one on my 49 chevy... these steering wheels are approximately the same diameter as the one in my bus.

Will that old Mercedes steering wheel fit your bus's steering column?   My recollection of my 1970 Mercedes 280SEL's steering wheel, from the times I had to take it off to fix the horn contact ring and turn signal switch, is that it won't fit my bus's TRW TC34 steering column.   At the very least you would have to make some sort of adapter.   The Mercedes wheel was held onto the column's splines with a big nut, while my bus's VIP wheel is held on with just three smaller socket-head bolts.
