Steering column and steering wheel broadcast sheet build codes

[Scott Kiger]

With the artic temps we have been experiencing the last week I have been trying to learn as much as possible about how to decipher broadcast sheets. A lot of the stuff is pretty self explanatory but when you look at the build codes on the bottom they have the codes for the column and the wheel. I know the numbers are the last two numbers if the part number but then they have the color. X I know is black and F is green But what are the others? Like let’s say you have a 68 with a blue dash and column. What would the letter designation for that be? Would a B be the designation for blue? I have scoured the web and can’t find anything much so I figured why not ask. Need to learn as much as possible while folks are still here that know everything.

It might pay to ask the same question over at FABO .... there's a bunch of guys there who know everything .... or at least they think they do.

@69Coronetrt
IIRC he's a extremely knowledgeable guy on the #s stuff
he might know

I'm not really good with remembering all the #s stuff,
some can rattle them off
but;
unless it's really common stuff
then I have to look stuff up in my Plymouth Factory Service Manual, in the back
for any codes or #s stuff & even then it's not complete...

Dave Wise books ? MMCDetriot.com

I have the Dave Wise Body Of Knowledge. Great reference guide but it doesn’t have the answer tk this question or either I just haven’t found it yet.

...codes for the column and the wheel. ...color.

This will probably answer your questions regarding colors - info is from '68 parts catalog based on prior threads? The broadcast shows an "Assembly number" (such as "12X" - which you couldn't 'buy' per se) for the Wheel/Horn ring pair - is not the "Catalog number" (in this case, for the wheel alone) that's in the parts manual - which you could buy. There may be others - I didn't ferret the whole section.
