Steering Wheel Options????

[pastortom1]

What steering wheel options were available in the A-Bodies anywhoooo?

I LOVE wood grain......I know they were optioned in the RR's and the like, but what about the A's??

Other than the stock wheels, and a few "Tuff" wheels or similar, I don't know what else may have been offered.............

If anyone has a heads up, especially on woodgrains, chime in........:read2:

Is that one in the pic a stock wheel, and is it a "rim blow" by name?

Any others up through the 70's?

Grant makes a reproduction of a tuff wheel in a wood grain. I have one and like it a lot.

Yes a "rim blow" wheel was available on the A-bodies. If you look at the picture you can see the rubber horn ring around the inside perimeter of the wheel. Sometimes hard to drive the car without honking............lol......

I agree that a woodgrain wheel looks very nice.

I like the original "Tuff Wheel", repops are available but they are not as close to an original one. Nice firm grip, smaller wheel, Tuff look! 8) Here is one on our 1970 Dart.

Copy of pistol grip 0071.jpg I had to go with a GRANT for that great feel of wood.

In 68 the Barracuda had an optional wood grain steering wheel.
Here's a picture out of a dealer brochure.



Sorry the picture isn't very good I scanned it at a low resolution.

My 68 convertible parts car had a wood look wheel, was going to have restored but didn't like the big horn button, so I went aftermarket Grant and like the feel and look

Sorry this is probably a dumb question, is that the Grant wheel you speak of in this pic, thats gorgeous!! Do you have a model # of it ? Looks great with your white convert.
