Re: [Chrysler300] Round or square steering wheels-'63-'64 Chryslers

["Jean-Yves Chouinard" <jymopar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I could be wrong here but I was under the impression that the tilt in 64 Chryslers was a GM unit. Chrysler didn't have a tilt unit ready and maybe it was cheaper to just buy the GM unit. If so, maybe the steering wheel is not interchangeable...

  I'd like to replace the round wheel on my tilt wheel K with a square one also, 
  but have been told they're not interchangeable.? Have you tried it on yet?

  My 64 Sport has the original round wheel. I just recently bought a square one to 

  replace it, only because I think it's just another unusual thing about 
  Chryslers. So if mine is changed, I suppose others could have been changed also.

  Some responses:

  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.

  My 64 Sport HT parts car had a square wheel, no tilt.
  My 300K conv. has a round wheel, no tilt.
  The parts car had a power steering cooler, an extra AC loop around the
  condenser, and a sway bar in front, The K had none of these. K is single
  4bbl Expect it depended on the dealers mood when he was filling out a stock
  order. In the letter cars I expect there was more owner feedback as more
  would be special order.
  Just my guess on the subject.

  First year for tilt wheel option was 64. It was a GM part, by the way, from
  Saginaw Steering Gear. 
  Tilt wheel steering wheels are different than non-tilt......they are not
  square.

  My summary--subject to correction:

  Sorta looks like '63's could have had either a round or a square steering
  wheel, but tilt wheel not available in '63.

  '64's could be had with or without tilt wheel. Tilt steering wheels all
  round. Non tilt wheels could be round or square.

  S
  ame is true for Letter Cars and Sports models--both years.

  Cross-pollinating with 63-64 Chrysler group for broader consensus.
