I have seen this one at oriellys for quite some time and am wondering if it will work in a 1996 Formula?

Link fail..........

And 99% of aftermarket steering wheels look like *** on almost any vehicle.

It'll fit with an adapter - I believe the Grant's are around $20

also, that wheel has a foam grip... so just be aware that after a few months out in the sun, it'll start to crumble and peel apart. Spend the few extra $$ and get a leather/pleather covered one

I ran that same steering wheel in my 72 Ford F100 for 3 years and it never crumbled or peeled in the GA heat. I has one in my boat to and it did start to crumble but it was after the center section started to rust.

If you end up putting it on post a pic. I've been looking to swap mine out for something different but it's hard picking one out from just a generic pic.

I believe you need one that will fit a third gen. Don't think they make them for a fouth gen because of legalities with the air bag.
