I just got a 70-74 cuda/challenger steering wheel I wanted to put it on my 72 roadrunner. The cuda steering wheel doesn't have the spline on it just a hole and it's a smaller circumference than the old wheel so i can't transfer that over.

Does anyone know if I can get a universal adapter, and if so what info do I need to know before I buy it?

Thanks!

You need a Mopar B Body Tuff wheel adapter.

Carefull of the wheel diameter. Too big. Wrong dish too. Knee clearance entering car was too tight.

Thanks, I hoped that was the case. I noticed those are getting expensive lately. I'll keep searching for one thats not way over priced.

Which wheel are you talking about? B and E body both use the same Tuff and Rim-blow wheels, just different adapters. Don't use an E-body crush can adapter on a B body, to tall. Use the A/B shorter adapter. Can use the other E-body standard and Rallye on a B with the B adapter.

I run a wooden Tuff wheel with a E body Crush can on my 1974 dart swinger, I am only like 5' 6" and it works just fine for me, the smaller tuff wheel adapters for the A and B bodys are always $100 and up but a E body crush can, can be had for like 30-50$ and most of the time come with a steering wheel attached.

Thanks, I have a b body. I don't know which steering wheel it is. How can I tell? It's very flat, probably only rises a couple inches. It looked like the crush can adapter made up for the depth of the old wheel which about 6 inches. Is that not the case? i don't want to the wheel to be up my chest. That being said, I'm the kind of driver who likes the wheel closer.
