Default Is there a difference between '68 and '69 steering columns?

Particularly the steering wheel area? I am looking at a Momo wheel for my '68, and they list their adapters for '69 up. Does anyone know if a '69 part would work on a '68?

Thanks!

Rick

I dont know specifically about the momo wheel, but the general rule is that nothing from any other year works on a 68!! One big difference in the steering columns would be the ignition key in the 69.

I think the 69 column is a carryover from 67 (with impact crush), 69 is different I'm but not sure of the mounting.

Steering wheel should mount fine. There are differences with key location and crushability.
