    Can anyone ID this steering wheel? 17" 3-spoke. It has a taper key hub that is the same as early Ford. There is a chrome ring inset in the wheel around the horn button. The only markings on the back are four letters in a square, reading clockwise from top left...D P D G an then AV to the right and the SANTOUPE 678755.

    Any info would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Neal

    Could possibly be a 34 ford wheel .All three spokes are curved ,The chrome is throwing me off.

    Sure it isn't "DCPD"?
    As in Mopar: Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler, Desoto.
    I'll check the number when I'm home.

    None of my Mopars have the keyway like that though...

    4woody gets the prize.... I read his answer then looked at the pic of the wording. That is absolutely the "stacked cube" of letters that Mopar used as a logo. Take a look at the logo.

    Neat wheel.Would be interesting to know if any of the internal bits would interchange with an F1 box.

    looks like a 37 Plymouth or other Mopar
     
  9. Neal, I had a black steering wheel which was off a '36 Dodge, the one you have looks to be for a '37-38 Dodge.

    Definitely not Chrysler. That's the only book I have for pre-war though.
    Do those key-ways look original to the wheel?
    My '38 has splines, but no key-ways. Coulda been altered to fit...something.
