I only swapped one of the steering wheels out of all the GM trucks I've owned--I put a pair of bucket seats from a Mercury Topaz on a custom made frame I made out of bed frame angle iron ,mounted to the stock bench seat tracks..then found the stock wheel was grinding against my ..um...wee-wee..!..being 6 foot 5 inches tall and having long legs and a seat taller than the stock bench was was a bad combination..
I decided I had too much labor and time into making the seats bolt in,to just ditch them--so despite them being a bit too high and too "straight up",I added some spacers to tilt the front up more,and got a steering wheel off an 80's Pontiac J-2000 wagon (a Cavalier clone) from the junkyard,it was about 3" smaller and gave me more leg room,and wasn't so small it felt hard to steer..
The original steering wheel felt like it was broken in one spot under the plastic and you could feel only the plastic was holding it together --I think someone may have had "The Club" on it and tried bending the wheel away from it to get it off ..
I still have that J-2000 wheel,I kept the whole colum from the 74 GMC it was in..
Kept the seats too,they are stashed in my garage..was kind of tempted to put the bucket seats in my '82 K2500 because they happen to match the exterior ,but I like the bench seat better in a way..I do miss the big console I had between the bucket seats I made though..
