Converting 83 CC Dashboard ?

What to do with dash?

My 83 has cruise on t/s switch, intermittent wipers next to H/Switch tilt wheel with a nice sport wheel from factory. Column is black.

Donor 91.5 has tilt column is red, No cruise and I think standard wipers.

Im planning on taking all the wiring out of the 91.5 and entire dash and column too.

Would you:

1. Keep the 83 stuff there and add the Cummins Info center? Leaving the rest of the 83 dash original.

2. Put the entire dash/column from 91.5 in the 83 and buy a used tilt column with all the goodies cruise/int wipers/high beam on t/s tree etc during the swap?

I would like to keep that factory 83 sport wheel, I know the 91 - 93 wheels have the cruise on the steering wheel. Its the same style wheel thats in every Mopar built them years.

Thanks for any input on this.
