Steering Wheel
I have seen two different types of steering wheels in our cars: the so called "tuff" and "deluxe". Which steering wheel is more common and which is more desirable? I know this is kind of an opinion question but was curious after looking at a lot of people going with the tuff steering wheel. Is the tuff steering wheel an option or aftermarket accessory?

Re: Steering Wheel
There were actually 3 wheels available in our cars that I know of--the base wheel (that I almost NEVER see in the cars), the "deluxe" wheel, and the Tuff wheel. Yes, the Tuff wheel was an extra-cost option. I think the deluxe wheel is most common. At least that's the one I see most often.

one more CODE S83 Optional on all models. Wood-grain, it has three spokes with pad, and the rim-blow feature.

Re: Steering Wheel
Thanks for the pics again. You are the man. Eventually once the car is done, I'm going to contact galen govier and see what he comes up with. I'm gonna try and take out my bucket seats this weekend and see if I can find a second broadcast sheet. If I found a second one, then I wouldn't be asking so many questions lol.

Re: Steering Wheel
Back seat, above the headliner, and taped to the back side of the glove box are common locations to find a B-sheet. I've also known people to find them under the carpet.

Re: Steering Wheel
I found the scraps of mine under the back seat (damn mouse). No headliner in the car and I tore the carpet out and nothing there except the code for the black carpet. Felt behind the glove box, but not on top of it and tore up the rear speaker shelf and nothing under there either. Nothing in the seat backs either but I have yet to check under the bucket seats. I'll keep diggin

If your car is not an original “V code†or Hemi, I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting for that return call.

Re: Steering Wheel
He contacted that one guy on eBay. All I got over a year ago was, I think a letter or an email, whichever. Worth a shot, I still think he's an arrogant prick since he only looks at hemi, the first, or last of a certain car.
