I am sure it can be done. I adapted a quick release to the wood grain wheel on my 70' Challenger. I even reused the quick flip seat belt buckle for my window net release as well.

I bought a chunk of round stock and had a machinist buddy cut off a couple 1/4" disks and countersink holes to mount to the factory steering wheel and collar mounts. Works great and looks stock. I did cut the collar apart to shorten it 1/2" to move the wheel back to the stock distance. No horn at the moment but I'm planning to work that out this winter.

Fixed the orientation of the photos. Dumb iPhone.

Mine has a splined hub welded to a 2.5" washer that has 3 holes that bolt to the factory mount under the black cover.The center is held on by a shanked lug nut trimmed at the top to fit under the steering wheel center.

I used the hex shaped quick release on a stock b body column.
had to trim the upper housing with a saw for clearance.
Slid the adapter over the column, drilled a hole and pinned the bottom 'cause I didn't want to weld near the column bearing. At the top I screwed on a stock lug nut, which centered the hex shaped adapter, then welded nut to adapter and threaded shaft to nut. Has held up to road-course use with manual steering since 1995.
