Street Cruser
The OE steering wheel in the 68B, for a 50+ year old part is about perfect, no cracks, scratches, or wear so I really did not want to subject it to a lot of hard tugging like one would get into with Autocross.
I also wanted a wheel with a little thicker rim and a more racey appearance. For me a Mopar Tuff Wheel was the answer.
Getting the Tuff Wheel was easy, getting the steering column adapter to position the flat Tuff Wheel about where the dished OE wheel sat was more difficult. New adapters have been out of stock at the aftermarket suppliers since at least last August. Occasionally the OE adapters from the 70's are listed for sale and last month I bought one.
Finished up the install today. I like it.
The OE 68 steering wheel and the Tuff Wheel are in the photos below.
