you will probably have to change the SIR coil out as well. if the body module will accept the commands with new SIR coil, then you are good togo, and all options should work. never tried a "transplant" like this before, but is worth a shot. chances are though that the SIR coil on the truck will not have the connectors on it, so as i said this will need to be changed as well.

as for removing the airbag, read my sig BEFORE reading further. as it says, i have NO responsibility whatsoever. disable airbag system by removing negative battery cable, AND airbag/SIR fuse. wait 5 minutes. on each side of steering wheel, there is a little hole, just big enough for a SMALL screwdriver. use a small flat bladed one, GENTLY stick it into the hole straight, and you should come up to a spring(you will not be able to see it with screwdriver in there, but you may be able to shine a flashlight in there and see it). push on spring, and GENTLY pull airbag out a little. repeat for hole on other side, and disconnect both airbag connectors. set it with the chevy logo facing up. chances of the airbag deploying are 1,000,000:1(not sure if real figure, but not likely to inflate during this procedure), but correct precautions must be taken just in case. now wheel can be removed. SIR coil should be held in with snap ring, remove that, unlpug connectors for it under dash, and remove. install in reverse order. remember, BE CAREFUL! the steering column trim covers may need to be removed as well.
