What steering wheels interchange/available?

84LX89GT · 09-22-2003, 02:49 AM

I just bought an '81 Ford Fairmont 4-door (sleeper project i've been wanting to do for years

)
Anyway, i was wondering what, if any, year mustang, ford or fox car steering wheels will interchange.
The stock steering wheel is just horrible, it's worn out looking and needs to be replaced (along with just about everything else).
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks for your time,
Rick

I think every Ford's steering wheel will fit the knob. But the problem will be the deep of the steering wheel (Airbag or not). I've tried to upgrade my 88 Gt with a 92 Steering wheel W/Airbag and it fit the knob but the steering Wheel was to deep then i was to close from it to be confortable. i think 91-up stang have a shorter steering shaft.

Take a look at your local salvage yard this will be the better way to see what you like or not as steering wheel.

T-bird's are nice but you'll have the Logo on it.

cool thanks,
I was hoping to go to a semi-close salvage yard full of fox body cars, but unfortunately all their hours are the same hours that i work (isn't that how it always is). I'll be keeping an eye out for something i like. thanks for your input.
