steering wheel swap

hi i have a 91 caprice wagon and wondering if a 1979 chev malibu steering wheel would swap out,i don't care about an airbag.but if i leave the yellow wire unhooked do i still have an airbag on the pass. side,thanks

I do not know if the wheel will fit, but you must put a 2 ohm 10 watt resistor across the leads of the yellow wire under the dash. There are a lot of other wheels that will fit, and the Grant base for the GM, and Jeep wheels will fit with a slight modification to allow the horn connector wire to go through to the ring. You can get adapters to fit almost any type of aftermarket wheel, and its horn button.

I’ve got a 91 OCC. Are you positive that your caprice has a passenger airbag? If I had to guess, that Malibu wheel would bolt up fine, spline-wise. Can’t speak to the diameter/offset/dish though.

You are correct. The only ones with passenger side airbags are the 94-96 models.
