Converting a 74 Cruise Control Column shifter to a 73 Standard Column shifter

Right now I have a console shift steering column in my 73 Charger, but I'm actually doing away with it and putting the bench seat and column shift in. The original bench seat, and column shifter are long gone. I do have access to a good 74 Charger column shifter but it has cruise control instead of the standard turn signal. Without having any extra wire hookups, will it be easy to convert the 74 cruise column, to a standard column shift for my 73? I imagine the turn signal harness in my console shift column is different than the one in the 74 cruise column, since it has a light for the Transmission Dial Indicator. What should I try?

Cruise controls are just added/separated items, not part of column itself. just need to remove the lever with wires and bolt on the standart lever, that's all the assembly. Turning switch is the same to both options, in fact the same with column shifter or floor shifter

do you have more of cruise control equipment ? I would be interested ;)

I could get the cruise control motor, cables, and switch, but I haven't gotten it yet because I wasn't interested in adding it to my Charger since it didn't come with it. My goal is to make the interior and exterior of my Charger as close to original appearing as possible without the aid of a buildsheet. Except I will keep the Power Bulge hood on. I want to make it look how it did originally but keep it tame looking, I won't add blackout decals to the hood. I will keep the big block powertrain. Make it a sorta sleeper. Except I won't be able to handle just an AM radio so I'll add one of the AM/FM radios I've got. I've got a 4 transistor AM/FM radio with rear speaker switch, and a 2 transistor AM/FM radio. I haven't decided which I'll add, but one I'll be selling or trading eventually, both are nice. Let me know what parts of the cruise control you're looking for and I'll see if it's all still on the car.

I would need the complete assembly from wires, switch ( i think there is a switch also at brake pedal brackets ), wires, etc... since my car never had... only what I have is the washer bottle, that I could get only if is in perfect conditions :D although the one i got is very nice.

but I would need to get the money first to pay LOL...

about Radio: 4 transistor is stereo ( left chanel is front, right is rear driver side except on double rear speaker option ), 2 transistors is Mono.

You had the option to add a rear speaker on Mono assemblies with a fader mounted on map light insert plate

I'll let you know on the cruise control, I don't know if it's got everything but I think most of it. It will be a few weeks.
