Steering wheel swap on 99 E250

I have a 99 E250 that someone stole the airbag (and my battery) out of. I found an airbag from a 91 E150 for $10.00 with wheel at a local salvage yard. Can I put that one in as opposed to the $150 for the bag only for a 99? OR-- are there other cars/bags I can swap in? Van has no cruise so thats not a problem (switches etc)

Bill

That would be quite a trick considering "a 91 E150" is still the earlier design Econoline featuring an older style steering wheel without an airbag.

Presumably you meant a '92 E-150 & have some chance of interchanging wheel/bag into "a 99" despite the cosmetic differences.

I would guess that it should work if ya can find out if the clockspring is the same. it should be. I wanna do the reverse i want a new style on mine. or find a black leather one. was curious if the towncar wheel is the same one or jsut same design it feels jsut like the one in my towncar
