[Chrysler300] 300J & K steering wheel

["Richard Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

More feedback.  Thanks to all.

 

    I believe that they all had the "square" wheel, EXCEPT for the tilt
wheels which were round in every instance.  I do not believe that any tilt
wheels were square.

 

I THINK I can answer your first question.  The standard wheel for both '63
and '64 was the rectangular wheel.  However, in '64 there was the optional
(I THINK) for the first time a tilt steering wheel.  It was larger and is
round.  The column at that time was made for Chrysler by GM.  I have been
told that GM still has (or had) the turn signal switch as it was also used
in Buick and Cadillac.  I do know the number of splines on the shaft is
different at that time, so when I want to have the round wheel reworked on
my 300-K, I can not substitute a rectangular wheel!  I have also seen a
trashed, '64 Imperial with the same column and wheel.
