Steering wheel identification help please - it's a Jeep product. Good jalopy wheel!

The spokes are stainless steel and welded to a hub that is splined.

 

Anybody? I'm thinking maybe Chrysler product? The plastic trim to match the dia of the steering column looks fairly late model. Does anyone know the steering column shaft spline count of the different manufacturers?

 

Looks like a Jeep Wagoneer one to me, late 70's. Not 100% on that but worth a check.

 

Because of the plastic ring I think it is like an AMC (wagoneer, eagle, spirit) or AMX steering wheel. I made one of those rings out of steel for a 770 rambler we got. Steering wheel is slightly different, though.

 

Thanks for the help. It does apperar to be a Jeep product. Not a bad looking wheel and they are reasonable price wise.

 

I agree, anyone know what spline size these use? Do they match GM, Ford, or Mopar columns, or are they AMC specific?

There's another similar one used on Wagoneer that had holes cut in the spokes, they're usually leather wrapped and the leather goes to **** but you can take it off and it's a hard rubber grip underneath. I've thought of using one with the center cap changed over to something else but I'm not sure what columns they'll fit.

Anyone know who made Jeep's steering columns in the 70's?

 

I'm going to cut down the hub (make it thinner) and drill out the spline, then use a Grant mounting kit. It has that OEM quality about it.

 

jeep used sag columns on most of therir stuff and sag gm style boxes, so splines should be compatible. I used a wheel off an atari pole position game. it was a champ product, and had the *****in center cap on it still

Early downsize Cherokee's and Comanche's through '94. That is identical as my Comanche was other than color.

Good eye. Wouldn't have thought of one.

yup its a xj jeep wheel.. with a GM column lol see

 

the earlier waggy's had holes in spokes and not a bulk center, a saginaw column to so interchanges with GM, the waggy also had the trans position pointer on column and U joints in the shaft so it would be good piece for updating old hot rod

 

GM splines, that's excellent info, will be putting that to good use in the future. Glad this came up.

 

AMC era CJ's also used saginaw boxes and columns. And I put a Nova column in a 79 CJ. The only mod was to change the flange at the bottom to the Jeep one.

Good source for parts.
