Kenworth maybe

Search for photos on line...see if you can find any similar rigs for sale with interior shots.
Or drive it and press and see what each button does what...

If it's the old style wheel [and it will be unless previous owner changed over] you'r kind of SOL, since KW quit making that wheel. Best bet is to try and find one seconhand AKA junkyard or Ebay. I have 3 of these older ones and when I found out KW was discontinuing those models I kinda stocked up on the parts. Down to my last one for a spare !
Kw's option is upgrade to new smartwheel, about $1000 last time I checked, plus another grand if your steering column doesn't match up.

Its only bout 500 to upgrade, but that is the only option. No decal kits here.

Maybe he needs to just know what the smart wheel buttons all do?

Top L is headliight flasher top right is marker light flasher.
Left center: 2 little buttons, top one is cruise on, bottom one
is cruise off, Right center: top button is set for cruise,bottom button is resume for cruise. Across the very bottom from L to R : Jake off, Single stage Jake, 2 stage Jake, All 3 stage Jake. -
i don't know if this will work, see if a letter company can make letters that small to stick on the buttons for a few bucks.

We have that one. Do you know if this SmartWheel version is considered Gen-1, Gen-2? I have the same issue with worn labels. I was going to have some cheap rubberstamps made and then use white acrylic ink to restamp them, but then I grew used to it.
