I would go with the suggestion to make sure your tyres are balanced. Certainly it's always something I do on my projects and customer cars

Thanks for that, Martin. I have the same vibration of the steering
wheel at highway speeds. I replaced the steering column bushing, which
did not help. Next on the list is the sway bar bushings (or ARB bushes
outside the U.S.). Since no one was complaining about steering wheel
vibrations back in 1981, I can only assume that the vibration is
caused by an old component that needs to be replaced. Strapping a new
part on may treat the symptom, but not the cause. Plus the bushings
are cheaper than those brackets...
