Default silverado "like" steering colum

So here is the deal, I like the turn signal/cruise/brights lever/mechanism in my 04 Silverado and would like to figure out how to put that in my Z28. Is the stuff interchangeable?

Do you happen to have any pictures of the connectors on the column? It maybe possible to cut and splice but I am thinking some of the accesories maybe have different numbers of wires.

Please post anything you know like the number of wires in the wiper switch, ect.

no pictures....I'm talking about swapping the "guts" of the turn signal/wiper/etc. switch so that I would have the "flash to pass" option....

never thought of swapping out that stuff, i hate the lever for blinker/brights/wipers on my t/a, it feels like its going to break everytime i use it, if its possible, i would love to switch to a more "user friendly" handle

Yes, I'm interested in any new turn signal lever or steering column setups. That loud snap on our sticks is waiting to break. In my old '94 TA, it broke to the point where I had to put my thumb into where the stick was and push down or up to light the turn signals.
