Steering wheel and mirror - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HI,
I was wandering if it would be possible to install a 94-95 astro wheel on a 72. I know the older non air bag wheels will fit but I like the look of the air bag wheels. I was planning on abandoning the air bag. Has any body tried this or done this?

Second question, Has anyone tried or used mirrors for a 92-98 ford pickup. They look like they might work on our trucks. Just a thought.

Thanks for any info.

Talkin' 'bout these?

They look OK. Not really my cup. Too much chrome.

Steering wheel SHOULD be splined the same, but I've never tried it.

Why would you want to put ferd mirrors in your truck?

I'd rather let my truck sit and not drive it before I had ferd anything on it

, sacrilege

The astro wheel I'm sure it can be put on there with a little work.

They look a bit bulky IMO. Tacked on look.

Those mirrors aren't too bad,there was a truck on the boards that had MAzda Miata (I think) mirrors on it,and they look good IMO.Not quite as big as the FURDs

Maybe not in an Astro, but there were some non-airbag wheels that were the same shape & size....maybe in the cheepo work trucks?!?
