Can I install an earlier steering wheel on my 72-74 Ghia?
You must use the entire steering column assembly (including the shaft) from a 1971, then mount the earlier steering wheel assembly. The steering lock mechanism is the same (up to early 74, vin 144 2353 464), so you can still use the same ignition switch electrical part. Some minor wiring modifications will be needed for your turn signal circuits and the color codes are the same. In addition, you will need to install a 68-71 dash mounted wiper switch as the 71 variety does not use the 72-later wiper stalk on the column. NOTE: On 74 models from vin 144 2353 465, the steering lock mechanism is not the same and as you will be using the 71-Early 74 style, so you must use the ignition switch from a 72-Early 74 with wiring modifications and/or harness plug.
