Roadrunner column same as GM?

[FlyByWire]

Hey there fellas. Finally got my dream car (pics below). I’m wanting to swap out the steering wheel to something more fitting to the interior. Having a hard time finding a straight answer.

But.. 69 Roadrunner, tilt column. Are they the same spline count / size as a GM column when it comes to the steering wheel adapter? I’m wanting a Sparc wheel for it but the only options are GM essentially.

Thanks in advance.

Guess you'll have to determine what is in there, as no tilt column came in a '69 Road Runner.

DOH!

Ok yeah that’s step one I suppose

I doubt anyone here will be much help - the only thing I see in the interior pic that might be original is the rear-view mirror?
If even Chrysler, ...maybe the column is from C-body or Imperial?
Good luck. It's the nature of the beast with resto-mods.

I guess I’ll take a deep dive on the InterWeb on how to ID the column. It definitely doesn’t have the feel of a something new / aftermarket.

Thanks for your guys’ time.

And yeah there’s nothing really original left. Perhaps the current adapter is stamped with a part number eh?

Nice looking car, your column might be a Flaming river column.

MoMo steering wheel - maybe 365mm Certo? Possibly start with them to work backwards?
Chrome blinker/adjuster lever tips might make it an Ididit column?

spitballin'....

I bought a Flaming River column with tilt for a 63 Dodge I was building. The spline count & shaft diameter matched a Chevy steering wheel. I'm guessing because they are more popular, it's more than likely it's the same as a GM car. Best to do a spline count & measure shaft diameter to be sure.

IDDIT is fairly popular

I have pretty much every receipt from the build, but it’s from the build shop.. so the line items are kind of vague. “Install steering column” etc.

It’s at the tranny shop getting a minor issue fixed but I’ll examine things when she gets back. The steering wheel I want is STUPID expensive so I want to make sure I’m getting the right thing.

It’s got some flaming river parts in it so maybe it’s their column. Looks like most the aftermarket columns use the Chevy adapter, but I’ll obviously make sure.

Thanks again guys!
