I found one wheel today after looking at over 30 vehicles.

I did find lots of vehicles Chevy, GMC, and even a few Olds Bravada's with
nice wheels. Unfortunately all had air bags. Not idea if we could use them
let alone I have no idea how to pull one of those.

I found one cruise control transducer, All the 70's and 80's cars seem to
be gone.

Cheers.

I have a steering wheel from a GMC van.
I need the horn wire to make it work.
How do I remove the horn wire from the donor vehicle?

Harry,
Do you need the wire running down the column or the wire from the button itself? The one from the button usually terminates on the rotating contact with a bayonet type of plug, which is like a turn signal or backup light bulb (1157 or 1156). Usually white plastic, push in slightly and turn CCW to disengage the lugs. The other end may be hardwired to the horn switch or have a spade connector on it.

As I recall, you also have to depress the part to turn it without breaking
the little knob. You might want to add that to your post.
