PROPERLY remove air bag (if equipt), then remove nut holding steering wheel on and then use a steering wheel puller to remove it.
You need a steering wheel puller. Any Auto Parts store can help you.

under the steering wheel i guess
As long as the 1988 steering wheel is not air bag equipped it should work fine. I'm not sure what year air bags become manditory equipment in Chevy trucks. To be sure do a spline count of both steering wheels. You may need to use the hardware to attach the steering wheel to the column from the 1988. Usually just a nut/bolt; washer, and some kind of snap ring.
fuse box under steering wheel
When you take the horn button off there is 1 big nut in the center of the steering wheel. Remove the nut and the safety snap ring. Then install a puller onto the steering wheel and pull it off. It will not just lift off with your hands.
If your car has a tilt wheel it is operated by a short lever below the turn signal. Pull back on the lever to tilt the wheel.
You're going to need a couple special tools...a steering wheel remover, and lock plate remover, and probably a pair of snap ring pliers. Good Luck!!
