I know I should probably be able to search for the answers , but after 2 tries and not that answer I was looking for I'm just going to post the questions.

First what is involved in changing my headlights over to the 05-07 style?

Second are steering wheels interchangable? Meaning can I get one out of say a newer truck to replace the plastic pos that I have now?
It's been worn smooth from use.
Thanks

 

I have a write up on doing an 02 to 05, but the 99 should be the same. Click my write up link and open the PDF for 05headlightrough.

To a very small degree they are interchangeable. You have two major concerns in steering wheels, the spline that the wheel spins and it's wiring. Wiring can be changed, but the splines should be a direct match. I'd suspect you'd be set with a 99-04 steering wheel, the lariat's got a leather wheel and you can pick up a really nice leather cover from wheelskins to protect it.

 

Awsome.
Thanks!

 

I have a 1999 XLT that came with the plasitc wheel also. I ordered a leather one from Ed at Y2K Ford. It wasn't too expensive and it took about 10 minutes to replace.
