The Ford Barn

I assume mine is the original that came with the truck...... here's the issue-
humid or rainy outside and my steering wheel is gooey. I'm sure there was some kind of coating on it originally but not anymore. I've got cracks as well
in it, but I digress.

Looking at some wheels out in cyberland and I see some that don't have the two tapped holes (to use a steering wheel puller) and I assume those wheels may be for F-7 and bigger. The ones with the tapped holes appear to be F-1 to F-6. (supposedly the wheels aren't the same)
My F-1 wheel doesn't have any tapped holes though......

Did Ford make a change to the wheels at the service level and put the
two tapped holes into play?
