Re: steering wheel swap

Pretty much any GM steering wheel with that style steering column would work. So to answer your question, yes, that will probably work.

Re: steering wheel swap

Also, if your bird has the airbag, you should be able to swap in a 4th gen bird wheel with the airbag - I did this in my Camaro - the only thing different is the airbag connector - in the 4th gen's they used a smaller connector, so get the airbag connector from the donor car, or cut the connector off your airbag and splice it in the new bag.
