slicknapier Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 A friend of mine found this steering wheel that somebody was throwing out. I would like to use it in my panel truck. I'm probably going to use the original column but with a different shaft in it to hook to the Dakota front clip. I would just like to know what year the wheel is and what the spline size is? Thanks, andrew Quote
Niel Hoback Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 Its a P-15 wheel with a broken horn ring. Looks to be in pretty good shape, too. Quote
Roadkingcoupe Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 Its a P-15 wheel with a broken horn ring. Looks to be in pretty good shape, too. The steering wheel center and the wheel look like 1946 -1948 Plymouth (might fit 1941 as well). However the horn ring looks alot like the 1941 Plymouth. Notice the two ares at 5 & 7 o'clock that are ribbed. They look like 1941 Plymouth and I have seen both the full ring (complete circle) and the half moon horn ring. It appears that there were two style available. Possibly to improve sight lines of the speedo and instruments. And YES many full horn rings broke from use (misuse). Quote
slicknapier Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Posted November 12, 2012 Horn ring does not appear to be broken. Part # on back is BH 1119622. Wheel is in decent shape. It has some decent cracks in it, but definitely fixable. thanks Quote
slicknapier Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Posted November 12, 2012 awesome. thank you..Now to find a shaft for one to make a column! Quote
Andydodge Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 Its a 1946-48 Plymouth wheel and it will fit a 1941 Column as thats whats on my car, see attached pic.......andyd Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 I would think the steering wheel might work on the original shaft since both are MoPar of about the same vintage. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 not true Bob..I slipped a nice Dodge wheel off a car I was scrapping for possible temporary use on a Plymouth...again..the size of Dodge is greatly different that the sister Plymouth... Quote
slicknapier Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Posted November 12, 2012 Yah it doesn't fit on the 48 Dodge Panel shaft... Quote
slicknapier Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Posted November 13, 2012 Well Bob, you were right. The wheel does fit on my panel trucks original shaft. I swear I had already tried it, but I guess not! Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Posted November 16, 2012 Glad it worked. I was just making a guess there. I have seen a D24 Dodge wheel on a P15 Plymouth , but had no idea if it just slipped on or what. It was done quite a while back. Quote
