Walnut vs Rosewood steering wheels

[Rg69Z]

Does anyone know how deep into 1969 was the "Walnut" steering wheel used before converting to the "Rosewood" wheel..My '69 Z has a build date of 03C..

Thanks guys

67/68 were just under 4 inches and 69 was 2 9/16. These are close #'s I found them in an old text I sent when I was selling a rosewood last year.

Way back in the '70s, I bought a loaded '69 with a rosewood wheel. It had an N555xxx VIN, 12A body tag. At that time a bud owned an SS-RS N545xxx VIN 11C tag, had a walnut wheel. So late November-early December 1968. Possible both were used for a short time.

An 03C build [Van Nuys] would definitely have a rosewood.
