Steering wheel swap
My 97 F350 has a worn out leather non airbag steering wheel with cc switches. I have a good wheel from a 97 F150 with air bag and cc switches that I want to put on it. The old wheel didn’t use a clock spring, the new one does. I have the clock spring for the new wheel. The problem is that both the clock spring and F150 steering wheel are 90 degrees off. Do I have to change columns and if so will the F150 column interchange? And would I have to change everything all the way down to the steering gear?

Yes, But I purchased a custom reman wheel from Carid. Built by B&I. They both stated it was the correct wheel. Now they won’t refund my money. Plus I had to find another core to send them cause they wouldn’t accept a different one.

If you post some pictures we can see if there's a way to make it work. Thats new territory as far as I know. I've read about folks swapping in newer steering wheels, but it was the 04+ model wheel.

Ok, I think I have figured it out. Did some research and found that the 96-07 f250 and 350 use a different clock spring than the 150. Just have to find one and try it. Then I jist have to re-key the wheel to the correct orientation.
