70 Cuda steering wheel, what was it ?

'70 Cuda

My steering wheel is wood grain grip with black plastic spokes and black horn button. I've seen steering wheels with bright metal spokes and the horn button has a barracuda on it.

What should mine be ?

Yours is the correct standard steering wheel. The one you describe is an optional "Rim Blow" wheel.

Thanks. I've seen references to the rim blow, but didn't know what it looked like.

Any chance someone makes a steering wheel that looks like the Rim Blow but operates like a standard one ? I looked but can't find any yet. With all the stuff out there, its hard to believe no one makes it.

I too went with this wheel.  looks good installed. The only issue I had was the horn mount to the ring, it wasn't tight.  But a little fidiling made it work.
