Dolph,
Here's what I've used for 10 years or so:
http://www.summitracing.com/search/Brand/Grant-Products/Product-Line/Grant-Anti-Theft-Systems/?autoview=SKU
or
http://goo.gl/maLHG
You'll also need one of their adapters for the GM column splines.
Since the removable portion has a bolt pattern to fit the Grant steering
wheels, you must use one of those, or do as I did: Devise an adapter.
IIRC, the Grant pattern is 3 bolts 120* apart on a circle. The S-10
(better yet, S-15) steering wheel I wanted to use has a single flat spoke
spanning the diameter of the wheel, with 6 screws 60* apart on a circle
slightly different than Grants. So I cut an appropriate disc of 1/4" thick
aluminum, then drilled and tapped it to fit the wheel and the adapter. I
had to remove material from the middle to allow access to the wheel's horn
button connection. It's worked perfectly for all these years.
NOTE: The device will not work with a telescoping column because of
interference with the added mechanism.

Thanks, Ken
If you get a chance, I would love to know the diameter of the S-15 wheel.
I don't have a wheel that I'm "wedded" to, Grant has some very affordable wheels.

15-3/4" OD. Mine's just like the one in my '91 S-10. The single flat
spoke also offers a nice mount for the key-chain remote I use to control
the cruise control.
The problem I had when looking at the Grant wheels was that they all had
more dish than I wanted.
