Will an 1800 steering wheel fit a 122 hub? 120-130

Well, will it?

Wheels from the early 1800s will fit a 122, I'm pretty sure. I
don't think that the later 1800 wheels will fit a 122 but I think
they will fit a 140. I've got a 122 bowtie wheel from a 68 that
looks exactly like the wheel on my old 144, also a 68, but they
did not exchange because the hub on one was smaller than the other.

I think the cut-off for the 1800 -> 122 wheel exchange is 1970
(when they got FI and a bunch of other changes) but I wouldn't bet
much money on it.

Thanks Chris,
That is good to know... Thats sort of what I've always thought, but never knew for sure if that '68 122 wheel would fit a 140...

Now I know it won't... I would guess its another difference that came about close to or exaclty when drum rears switched to discs...

Again...just a guess.

What year 1800 and what year 122?

Either way, I'm pretty sure too that it'll work. I had a '67 122 once that had a early type 1800 wheel, so I reckon it should work. I'm sorta fixing to install another one on my new wagon.

Things may have changed around a bit in the late 60s/ early 70s though... Then again, 68 122s had 140 type wheels... and I've seen late 1800e wheels in 140s. So my guess is that they are all the same splines.

I'm 95% sure it will. The other 5% is up to you...
