See the index at http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/library.shtml to look them up.

I know they were available but don't see them on that option list. I've only ever seen them on 71 swigwers i had a 70 swinger that had one , still have the wheel .

They were (somewhat) common on a bodies. If you had the tuff wheel, you had to get power steering with it. The brochure for the Dodge Demon shows them being available as an option. Most common car I've seen them equipped on is a Dart. Last edited by DusterKrazy; 05/21/12 05:38 PM.

Why this particular truck came with one is beyond me. Jason Thats strange I know-I would have expected the Omni-style one, and I'm 99% sure nobody swapped it in there seeing as they couldn't be bothered installing a radio! The foam is unbonded from the spokes itself now-I was going to use it in my Charger, but it needs too much love I think.

Now a '78 D150 shortbox factory 440 to keep me occupied.
