2003 Truck steering wheel...opinion? direct fit?

I drove a new chevy this summer and really liked the steering wheel. I think the hard angles, color, and style fit better than the "Saturn" wheel that came original to 1991 Birds. Does anyone agree? Can anyone tell me if this is a direct fit or if there is an adaptor available? I dont care about the airbag function. Thanks!

I would be willing to bet it would bolt on. As far as I know, all GM steering wheels are interchageable, unless they have recently changed them. My steering wheel came out of a grand am :P However, If I'm not mistaken, your car has an airbag, so that might be a problem wiring it up.

H2's have that wheel too...only it says HUMMER =) My mom has that wheel on her TrailBlazer and if I had a Camaro as opposed to a bird I had seriously thought about getting a wheel like that one.

Some of those wheels have radio control built into them. That with a PAC converter and you can get them to work with an aftermarket deck.
