Does anyone know when the tilt steering wheel option was available in the E-body? And when it did, no doubt it had an option number. Would anyone know that code number?

No idea what you mean. What exactly are you looking for ?

In the Decoding list from another site, you can look at all of the options that was available in 1969, 1970 & 1971. I wanted to know if a tilt was available, thus the reason for the search. And if there was a part, would there be one out there to be purchased. That's all... So I searched all day and came up with the numbers I posted. So further research will be necessary to see with group this was available in. I hope this clears it up.

Now I understand your confusion. This option list is for all make and model lines from Chrysler Corp. all lumped together. It does not mean that it was available for a Challenger or Barracuda. Sorry to pop your bubble. No tilt wheels.

Correct and an option sheet would be great.
PS, went big miles yesterday to look at an E-body. It ended up just not (what I call) J** B**** friendly. There were some issues.

I know that and realize that. But have used to decode a few fender tags.

Most, if not all, tilt, telescopic wheels were in the C-body full size cars. The Imperials had them also and at times had another body code. I forget it at this time. I don't know of a B-body tilt wheel before 1975. The E-body never had one. Trucks and vans had them. I don't know when they started in A-bodies or if they were even available in an A-body. The F-bodies may have had them also. Someone will know. I don't know if I have ever seen an older Mopar tilt column that was not also column shift.

the tilt columns were actually made by Saginaw [GM] , they probably didn't want to buy a lot of them from them
