steering wheel + column rebuild question
« on: March 23, 2009 - 02:18:53 PM »
Hello,
Just working on my new to me floor shift steering column to replace a column shift. I've ordered new turn signal, ignition switches and  a new key and cyl. No use pissing around! Do it once ! I'm new to mopar columns any advice before I rip it apart?
Question, I have the ribbed crush can with no steering wheel. I want to get a Tuff wheel, will it just bolt onto the crush can or was it a different set up? Horn with a Tuff wheel is it just a simple plug and play? I was looking at the grant repop .
Is the turn signal lever being redone yet?
Thanks Brad

For the lever, I have them new from chrysler. As for the tuff wheel, I beleive you have to have the adapter for the can, which is different than the othe 2 steering wheels. I could have put it in your box.

 So many parts so little money? LOL Thanks anyhow I have a 73 Challenger steering wheel I can use till I get what I want. I just looked at my column I'm replacing and I can use that one( turn signal arm ). It's in better shape.
Thanks! Looking forward to my order!

If you get the grant 846 or 246, they bolt right to the crush can and use the stock horn

Are you sure on that? I don't have the "tuff" wheel now just the standard 3 spoke wheel.
Thanks for the reply! Brad

Yep, It comes with a new button cover and the factory horn screws right on.

ALL E-bodies have the ribbed (crush can) adapter from the factory. That adapter fits:
70-71 rimblow 3-spoke satin chrome wheel
70-71 standard 3-spoke woodgrain wheel
72-74 standard 2-spoke satin chrome wheel
All factory Tuff Wheels and many new reproductions of the Tuff Wheel
