Re: [Chrysler300] 1965 Chrysler Tilt Steering / wheel compatibility

["Mike C." <commcar@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just went through the '65 parts book and see no call-outs for a "special" wheel for tilt-equipped C-body cars.  As far as the March 1966 edition reads, it would appear that all C-body wheels are physically interchangeable whether they are manual steering, power steering or tilt equipped.  It would then appear that "special" wheels apply to pre-1965 Mopar.
 
I can't say for certain why this wheel doesn't want to fit.  I've had the wheel off my tilt L a few times w/o any issues.  Are any of the splines damaged at all?

The tilt wheel column is a GM design.
A none tilt column Chrysler wheel will not work.
You will have to get a wheel from Chrysler with a tilt column.

I have a friend with a '65 300 sport. He replaced his non-tilt column with a tilt unit but utilized his original steering wheel. The tilt unit did not come with a wheel. I haven't seen it in person to describe the problem in detail but he claims the wheel doesn't fit properly.... .it doesn't seem to be pushing onto the shaft far enough?? The horn contacts are not close enough to work properly??

Can anyone tell me if there would be any difference between a tilt and non-tilt column that would require a specific wheel. I always assumed the wheels were interchangeable.
