Question Different steering wheel?

Can anyone think of any reason why I couldn't put a steering wheel from say a Ranger or Explorer in my truck? I really hate the 2-spoke design of our steering wheels. With my driving style, it's very uncomfortable to hold. I want a thumb hole right in the middle of the left spoke. That's where I hold the wheel, and I feel like I have carpule tunnel of the thumb after driving long distances. The 4 spoke wheel would allow me to hook my thumb around the wheel comfortably while maintaining my present elbow to armrest relationship.

Thanks,

Sven

i believe the 2001 f150s all have 4 spoke desigh wheels. (at least lightinings and HD do). so you might be able to get one of those. try fordpartsonline.com call them and ask. i personally like the two spoke because for me it makes it easier to turn with one hand. (with the palm of my hand on the wide spoke) but everyone drives diffrently and i can see how it would be annoying.

Cool

Thanks guys. I'm planning on getting a quote from fordpartsonline right now.

Do you know if the center pod is part of the airbag, or will my airbag module transfer to the new center piece?
