I didn't know the 02's we're different. I have a vette steering wheel and air bag I was going to put in, but changed my mind. View attachment 74423What does your wheel look like?

Similar to the 95-98 obs steering wheels

Same as my Express work van, except mine isn't leather.

Next on the list is going to a 03-06 steering wheel. The 99-02s are so hideous lol.
I guess I need to look into it before I impulse buy.

Unfortunately the swap isn't as easy as it seems. The spline on the two wheels is different, so you'd need to swap out most of the steering column, and the 00-02 airbag is 1-stage, vs the 03-06 which is 2-stage, so you'd need to get an airbag from a van or HD truck. I have seen it talked about, but I've never seen anyone go through with it, I don't think. If you can find the parts for a decent price it might be worth the swap because the 00-02 wheel is just bad.

In that case it's not even worth the hastle

Get aftermarket specific for 00-02

 

[Spencer_waynee]

Just ordered 4.10s. Really hoping to get the hoe moving better going from a 3.42

 

[Spencer_waynee]

Traded my 18s and $100 for decladed 20s and newer tires.
More pics soon. Two still need the adhesive removed

 

[Tonyrodz]

I like em!

 

[Fosscore]

Looks good.

 

[Countryboy07]

Awesome! I want to do a set and polish them. Then throw them on a set of 33's because you hardly ever see a St on a lifted/leveled truck

 

[Spencer_waynee]

Any advice on removing the adhesive from these? 3m and air craft remover didn't touch it..

 

[Countryboy07]

Seen some have good luck with a media blast. Gets the adhesive off and the machining grooves in the surface.

A what? Lol

 

[Countryboy07]

Like sand blasting, just less abrasive.

 

[Spencer_waynee]

Wish I had access to something like that

 

[05Single]

If airplane stripper didn't work then I don't know what will.
Might have no choice but to take them in to get media blasted or sand blasted then have them painted or powder coated. Or you can polish them by hand by sanding and wet sanding, which takes foooorreeeever
Or buy the clad covers which kinda defeat the purpose. Evans's they look so much better without

Was researching cause I was curious myself , saw a guy used gasoline and a razor blade. It was on a newer wheel so I think the adhesive was newer and easier to remove. Yours looks older (older wheel) and glue looks cemented.

 

[Tonyrodz]

What kind of wheels are those again? What did they come off of?
