Steering wheel question

[69bronzeT5]

What year of Charger is my steering wheel from? Ive been told its a 68 wheel...

[JimShine]

The horn pad and ring are 1968 style. The wheel itself is the same as both years.

Im trying to figure out if it came original with the car or if somebody changed it down the road before I got it. Anybody ever heard of a 69 coming out of the factory with a 68 wheel?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Jim, I believe the plastic is different between the 68 & 69.  The 68 wheel (which you rarely see cracked) seemed to be made of a hard rubber where the 69 wheel (always cracked) was made of a more hard plastic

I know what you mean. Style wise they are the same, but the material is indeed different. The 1968 wheels rarely crack, but I also see more black ones even in colored interiors (like my 68 had green guts and factory black wheel). The 69 seems to be a different material that crazes as well as splits. Looking at the wheel cover on this one, I sort of assumed it was cracked underneath.

Thanks for the info guys. I plan on changing the steering wheel anyways...probally something more modern. You know..I really like the look of those chain steering wheels (just kidding)

Hey Cody, when I was your age I wanted one of those little chain steering wheels in the worst way.  Of course that was the 70's and we also had sidepipes, air shocks and lots of polyester.
