Steering wheel swap

[DFlaJax]

I'd like to swap my steering wheel to aftermarket. What are my options for cruise control buttons & installation locations?

You will lose everything, going ti an aftermarket wheel.

I just swapped on an FR500 wheel. Requires a little modifying, but looks/feels great and keeps cruise control and everything.

fr500 isnt aftermarket though, the only way you can keep your airbag and cruise crap is stick to a ford wheel, aftermarket as in billet or grant or colorado customs wheels, stuff like that wont work.

Cool, FR500 is perfect. Starting thread search now, LateModelRestorations wants $200 but if anyone sees them cheaper, please post link.

I got mine from Amazon.com with my wife's discount before she quit. It used to be the same price. I think LMR is the cheapest now...

good luck finding anything decent under that price. seems pretty reasonable to me.

would you mind telling me how you did it? I tried to install the FR500 in my 98 a few years ago, but ended up abandoning it because I couldn't get it to fit on the shaft.

You have to file two flats on the steering shaft in the correct places and do some other little things.
