[Spridgets] steering column types

I would think that you need the later rubber steering wheel with the rubber horn push etc.  Not the plastic rimmed with three pairs of chrome spokes.  I think that '68 was kind of a safety changeover year.  In other words, they started messing stuff up irreversibly.  Is your dash completely padded?  That will tell you a great deal.

Hope this helps.
