Factory steel wheels, matching the body, are equipped with chrome dog dish hubcaps. Braking is handled by manual drums all around. The Chevelle was factory equipped with Buick interior components due to a production strike in 1968 and consists of black vinyl bench seats for both front and rear with matching door panels and carpet. The factory push-button AM radio is fitted in the dash, just below controls for the heater. A chrome shifter with a chrome knob for the 4-speed is mounted on the transmission tunnel, and an "SS 396" script is found on the passenger side dash.
