Is there a way to determine whether your truck came with the horn ring in the steering wheel?

67 trucks had a horn button similar to the horn ring but it had no ring just the center part. 68 - 69 had the horn ring and button as one piece. 70-72 had a horn pad that went across the center of the steering wheel.

for the 68-69 the horn ring and button were on all three packages offered, the base, custom cab and ranger?

Mine is a 67 Ranger and it came with a ring.

Yeah, I read that which raised the question for me of whether the horn ring was standard in the Custom Cab or part of a package you could get for it. Mine came with the added gauges in the instrument panel as well as the nicer seat package so I would assume it also had the horn ring. Thanks very much.

what do your emblems say on them. that should tell you something more.

which emblems are you talking about? the previous owner put an aftermarket steering wheel on it and he is no longer around so I can't ask him.

on the body and the glove box maybe.

yeah, no additional help from them. Thanks for the quick replies; they help confirm my original assumption.

my 68 cc has a ring. gets in the way sometimes when "aggressively" turning the wheel tho.

if you mean "armstrong" steering, then yes. the ring looks cool, but the button stays out of the way.

Steering wheels for all 1967-1970 models (pictured above) were the same and used a three-spoke design. The standard wheel (pictured above left) uses a simple horn button, while the Deluxe wheel available with the '69-'70 Ranger and Custom Cab packages incorporated a horn ring (upper right). The three-spoke wheel was used on '61-'70 trucks and on '60-'63 Ford Falcons

This is interesting... my 67 Camper Special has a horn ring, and it appears to be the original steering wheel. It matches the column, and I don't see any sign they've ever been removed or replaced.

In addition to this, my grandpa had a 67 Camper Special when I was a kid, just like mine. One of the things I remember about it the most? The horn ring! What kid doesn't like to play with the horn?

I believe the horn ring WAS an option with the 67's. Check out the picture for item #28 in this brochure from 1967...
