Hello,
First of all I want to compliment you on a fantastic and informative site.
While looking for correct parts to restore my 1969 Chevelle steering wheel, I have searched sites and forums and come up against a inconsistency.
I was wondering if you could help me out with a question regarding the deluxe steering wheel and standard steering wheel for the 1969 model year.
I noticed that the deluxe wheel was never implemented in 1969, according to information from the Camaro Research Group.
CRG Research Report - Steering Wheels
After looking at the part numbers, I notice that the reproduction wheels available from OEM are using the part numbers for the deluxe steering wheel. Part numbers are in picture attached.
Why would they not use the part numbers of the standard steering wheels for reproduction?
Do you know what the difference would have been between the standard wheel and deluxe if they had both been used?
Also I have noticed that most of the wheels i have seen have the number 9747408 on them. Do you know what this number is?
Thank you everyone.
