Tilt Steering Wheels?

[62BT409]

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?

 

[74 challenger]

would like to know myself.

Tilt wheel on a E body ? Not in my world.

 

[62BT409]

OK, tracked something down but I feel I need more on an explantion, as in which body style.

S-61 *** 69-71 *** Tilt/Telescopic Steering Wheel

S-62 *** 69-71 *** Tilt Steering Wheel

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.

What site is this list for ? 70-74 E-body never had this option and your S-61 and S-62 codes are supposed to mean what ?

S-61 was offered in 1969, 1970 & 1971 and the same with the S-62 code.

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.

OH I know it's for all Chrysler products....know to find which Chrysler products. To define in a deeper search will answer my question along with all others who are wondering ;o)

So you want an option sheet only for Cuda and Challenger . You were just wondering if the tilt wheel was an option for these particular models. Correct?

 

[62BT409]

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.

 

[moparleo]

Have not seen an option sheet specific to these cars. This list is only to decode all options, not what models they were availble in.

 

[62BT409]

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

 

[moparleo]

Ok So it is a useful list. I will add it to my notebook. Thanks

 

[62BT409]

Also on the same page as the VIN decoder is a PC Fender Tag Decoder this is a really nice program

 

[74 challenger]

surprised that wasnt an option then again if you had the money they would try to make one work at the dealers.LOL

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.

 

[ROCKY ROCHE]

there were not tilt options for e body, however you can take a tilt column from a cordoba and modify to fit work fine in my 73

 

[Chryco Psycho]

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