No Challengers or Barracudas ever came with Tuff Wheels stock.

I have a tuff wheel on my car that came out of a 70 rt/se so who knows if they were really stock!!   :dunno:
According to Chrysler they weren't available on Ebodys. That does not mean that the dealer couldn't have added one when the car was new.  It just means that the assembly line did not install them on Ebodys. With Chrysler there was always a possible exception, but it was not the rule.

I sure wish I still had the build sheet for that RT/SE but I sold that car years ago!!   :crying:

When changing to the tuff wheel you should change to the B-body can also. IMO

Looks cleaner, more modern and being a little shorter it puts the wheel in a better spot at arms length instead of closer to the chest.

Okay .... thats a first.   I wasn't aware that the B-Body can was shorter.   By how much?   

Thanks .... CHAPS
