For $150 dollars I think you stole that wheel as for the fishcap i don't think there is any problem switching them

Thanks,maybe i'll have plumbeeper do it,shouldn't be more than the 200 bucks minimum price they charge to restore since its in nice condition.The black plastic on the back side has no cracks either.

I'll guess the horn switch is missing, but I'll be nice and offer you $300 for it.  :naughty:

You got ripped off, but I'll bail you out and take it off of you for $350!

 :rofl:

Great deal there, that's a dodge center cap but it's missing the foil nameplate. The "fish" center cap will pop right on there no problem.

Pic below shows what the center cap should look like.

You done real good. It looks like a real nice core to restore.
The rimblow steering wheels were available on 70-71 E-bodies, B-bodies and A-bodies. Changing the center cap to a fish cap requires nothing more than pulling off the Dodge cap and snapping on a fishcap.
Send me a note when you're ready.

Thats not the switch, that's the contact for the horn switch. The switch is in the rim (therefore, RIM-blo). It looks like your switch is still there, but probably does not work since the rubber part looks like it's shot.
