Day 2 Steering wheels for the A body's (70's) what was it?

[SLOPAR72]

I am actually thinking about putting my car back together lol... I have a Tuff wheel but am good with a Retro custom steering wheel. I would want a Day 2 mod scenario so what was the popular wheel back then? If you say Chain wheel then obviously you guys did too many drugs back then lol....

Thnx,
JW

I have the Tuff Steering Wheel and wouldn't remove it for anything.

Cal Custom wood. I've got one in my Barracuda. Got it in a pile of vintage parts. This is the best pic I have of it...

Here's what I got for Vixen. A Mooneyes sparkle wheel. She's happy and so am I.

And a Vertigate to boot.... those 2 items are definitely from the Era I am looking at replicating... Your steering wheel is definitely one on my brain.

X2 on the Grant wheel. Like I had back then...and have again now.

Of course, my unblemished factory original wheel sits safely in storage in case I ever want to use it again.

I have the original deluxe wheel, tuff wheel, and standard wheel and all are mint.... But it's not what I want... That Grant is probably the one. My next decision is the Hood tach but that's for another day lol...

Yes, imo you just can't go wrong with that look.

In my opinion, this wheel looks 3455 times better.

I have one I am not using that came off my Duster, with the mopar adapter and horn button, cheap, message me if you are interested.

Wayoutfish has got that "later the first week" vibe down pretty good too. Besides the wheel, i like the B&M chrome box and moroso 10 grand mechanical tach.

It is F8 Dark Green.
