that would be bad idea, new charger's interior is ugly imo.

Personally, the '68-'70 Rallye dash in Chargers are my favorite dash of all time....

It wouldn't come close to fitting so you'd have to do a lot of custom work.  It can be done but be prepared to spend lots of time and money on it.  If you really want something other than stock then you start by making templates out of posterboard and build up a dash and console out of mdf.  The actual gauges are a fairly easy transplant once you have a new dash to fit it in, electrical may be a different story.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
