can you? sure.....but there is an airbag and all kinds of other things to consider like cruse control and stuff when doing it. its not going to be a simple bolt on affair, there will mostlikely be some work to get it on there correctly.

What's with the '92 wheel? The 'ON' button is missing off my '91. Looking for a Center section that has all buttons. or just the 'ON' button so I can snap it back in to my wheel center.
Been e-baying with no luck

the first gen wheels use a disc that has pickups resting on it to transfer the electric signals from the wheel to the column. The later wheels with airbags use a clock spring. This is for safety reasons with the airbag. If you want to just have cruise and not stereo controls or climate you could most likely adapt the disk to the new wheel and you would need to build a center section to put in place of the air bag. You may also need to make an adapter if the mounting surfaces between the new wheel and the old column don't match up.
I am working a similar project and as of right now am stuck with it. I have thought of adapting the disk to the new wheel as I mentioned or trying to get ahold of a clock spring and trying to make that work. I think the clock spring will be too difficult to do as the column is not set up for it at all.
