wondering if anyone has encountered this problem...

placing an after market "forever sharp" steering wheel into my build. problem is that the horn button doesn't have a spinner ring on the 83, it is a push in system that is built into the turn signal handle. has anyone re-ringed their truck from a different year car/truck that they used a spinning ring system and it was able to work?

I will be using the horn button as a grounding wire for the horn.

thanks, can include a pic if needed.

cheers

I think I looked into this in the past on my 84, and it pretty much required getting a later model steering column with the horn button in center. Could well be remembering that wrong though, it's been a decade since I totaled that truck.

FWIW when I pulled apart the 86 it had the steering wheel horn button, but no clock ring. It had a button/switch that mounted on the steering column and rode against the back of the steering wheel. Push center of steering wheel and push the button/switch. Wish I had pictures of what I'm talking about that I could send you.
