Yes, the padded steering wheel was
78/79.
It will be an instant bolt on swap for the
earlier hard plastic steering wheel. Not sure when the splined late
column started, somewhere around 74?
The swap has a couple of plusses: The hard
wheel gets VERY hot in the sun, soft ones don't. The hard wheels
crack, the soft one won't.
The minus: The soft wheel for some strange
reason, on humid days, gets sticky. Cleaning it helps a
little......
And I have a couple of the late padded
wheels if any one wants one.
