So if im reading this correct, a tan wheel like what I have with a black hornpad would be CHP correct? -zac Yes. Here's a pic of 440rulez's that shows how the CHP cars came: From what I can tell, the only way to get a 1974-1977 c-body steering wheel with the horn ring was and no emblem was only with a police car, and only in black. So the fact that the movie blumos had a tan horn pad means that they actually painted every single horn pad; there was no way to get it in tan. Actually there is one scene that I'm not sure of the horn pad color: But all the front-on shots show a tan horn-pad. In this scene, it doesn't really look tan to me, but its certainly not black. your friend in the hornpad hookup, arthur

My steering wheel was also originally a "1B".

For civilian steering wheels with partial horn ring and emblem, some closeups of how the emblem is attached. Interspersed is my Marin County police hornpad, dyed Camel. It has the holes for the tabs of the emblem, but there was no emblem, and the front vinyl completely covers the holes.

I think that this 75 monaco bluesmobiles.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=cars&action=display&thread=261is an ex-CHP. Scatpack pointed out that the tilt/telescoping is 75+ style, and TK826 pointed out that all the Monacos in the CHiPs TV show were 75's, and all had this same tilt/telescoping style. So I think that steering column is original CHP accurate. I update this info here.

Horn pad 2b is off of a Plymouth Fury. I owned a wheel from one and gave countrybunker the pad from it and the emblem was identical.
The center pads are a point of interest to me, as I collect them because they amuse me.

I believe the image in the farthest upper left corner of the chart is a tilt wheel... without a telescope. Tilting wheels were offered in '74, but I'm not sure that telescopes were.
*Something I haven't been able to figure out is... Does the chrome steering column collar mean tilting, tele-scope, or both?
I'm sure that if you had both you would have the collar. But, could you have one or the other... without a collar?
Since the tilting occurs at the base of the column, I'm leaning toward the belief that the chrome collar is strictly for the telescoping aspect.

I may have just answered my own question. Here is a page from the 1974 Monaco "Parts Service Guide": It shows a tilt wheel (with no mention of a telescope) and no chrome collar.

Mine does have both tilt and telescoping and the wheel looks identical. As far as I know, you couldn't get tilt without telescoping.

I know it's a very old post, but does anyone of you guys know, if it's possible to put a "non-telescope" steering wheel on a "telescope" steering column?
Or do I have to change the whole steering column if I want the right steering wheel?
Greetings
Manuel
