All 2500 8 lug trucks and 3500 trucks came without airbags. His wheel is a factory leather wrapped non-airbag wheel. This is what my truck had before I replaced it with the smaller 98+ wheel. The 95-97 wheels have a lager rectangular airbag, and 98-02 have the smaller square airbag. Any of them will work. Just have to match the bag to the wheel. Only 98-02 wheels will accept the steering wheel mounted audio controls.
