Nice find Jon!

Did the Bullnoses ever come with those spoked steering wheels? Or was that an add-on?

I can’t tell from that photo if it is a factory sport wheel or aftermarket. I believe the sport wheel was still an option in 80-86, maybe someone else here can verify. I know Chris McGaugh really likes them and says he wants to use one on his XLS as it is a good match for the silver bezels.

Listed for Mustang, but looks like the truck sport wheel:

The 1980 truck accessories brochure lists them as only being available in Courier and Econoline.
