69 owners with "Pebble-grained" steering wheels (not shrouds) please check in

[bertfam]

Okay, so now it does appear the note in the parts book is wrong since Kurt and Bill have both reported smooth wheels and both are SS cars. Apparently, it's starting to look like the smooth wheel and the pebble grain wheel were used simultaniously? At least from the 02B date.

Anyone out there have earlier cars with smooth wheels?

Ed-

I know this thread is quite old but thought you might still be interested in this info.

'69 RS L65
12437 9N626607
713
04A
Deluxe interior-  full woodgrain & passenger side dash handle, bright pedal trim, console, dash mounted clock, courtesy lights, and under hood light. This car also has the hand painted stripes over the wheel openings.
I've looked very closely and can find no trace of a pebble finish, maybe because of the late build going into April of 1969?
Is there any info you could use that I left out?

Pebble grain wheel, grab bar, pedal dressing, wood grain on wheel. I think you get all of that when you chose RS.

Thanks,

1.  Type of Car:  1969 Camaro RS Z/28
2.   VIN:  124379L52930
3.   Build date:  04B  (Van Nuys)
4.   Interior Code:  713
5.   Z23:  NA
6.   Steering wheel definitely has a grained texture between the two permeter lines.

Also, I have a '69 Chevelle SS.  It also had the grained, textured wheel (01A build date, Kansas).   I purchased a reproduction wheel for it and was puzzled why it was smooth as both the Z and the SS had textured wheels.  All makes some sense now.
