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

I finally got my old steering wheels from my parents place. It is the original steering wheel from a '94 full size 2dr blazer. If i am correct, this will bolt up with no problems. right??

Is there anything else that needs to be done for this too work. Sorry if stupid question.

I had one from a '93 S-10 blazer that bolted right up. I never got the horn to work, but never really tried to. You might have to do some electrical voodoo under the horn button to get it to work, but the collar size and depth worked out just fine. I'd assume most late model GM wheels would be the same way.

If it's like this wheel I was able to adapt the old horn plate and wire to work ok, it's been so long ago I can't remember how I did it but the toughest part was crimping a spice sleeve to the lower horn contact.

That's the wheel I used.....like I said, never tried to get the horn working, but it's good to see it wasn't that big a deal.

looks just about the same as that one. Little bit different. Maybe i just wont worry about the horn. I will have to wait till i get a chance to try it out.

I got the horn working in mine.
Use the horn slip ring from your column mounted in your truck right now. ON the tube that has the horn contact in it, grab the metal tip and jerk it out with some pliers or the all mighty vice grips.
Then, take the horn wire that was hooked to teh horn button on the new wheel (if it is missing, you can grab one at the junk yard quite easily, and if they charge you than they are A-holes) you'll need to shave the nipples off the plastic piece.
*Politically Correct statement*Don't be stupid and slice your thumb off...you won't look as cool with a thumb missing. (OK...maybe it wasn't so PC)
Once you have both nipples shaved off, shove that end down into the tube on the slip ring. The remains of the nipples will hold it in place indefinatly. Install the steering wheel (you did have it 100% straight ahead when you removed the old one...right?) and plug the wire to the horn button.
Your horn should work...or at least your horn relay should click every time you hit the horn button.
