Default steering wheel

Is it possible to swap out the current 3spoke GM steering wheel onto an Fbody?

I would prefer a C6Z one as they are much thicker.

question 1: Will the airbag still be able to be connected and work?

question 2: with the different centercaps on the various models, how easy is it to remove and replace?

well, it CAN be done, just probably not as practical, or cheap, as we'd like for it to be (pop stock wheel off, pop vette wheel on). if i find anything i'll certainly post it...

JasonWW tried using a GM truck wheel with wood inserts and it didnt fit.

Here are the threads:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...5&page=3&pp=20

That doesnt mean that another wheel wont fit though.

Found out today that the C6 and the C6 Z06 steering wheels are different part numbers. I'll go with a tape measure next week and measure the thickness of the wheel.

Sounds good, keep us updated. I really hope this will work. It'll make the interior look 100x better.
