I found a billet set of 3 as in the pic but the end looks different. Anyone have any knowledge on how it connects inside the column or what would work. I should have paid closer attention when I replaced the turn signal switch.

Note: the bottom pic is for the 73-83 style column will not work.
I see you have these options on you signal lever - cruise control, wipers.
As said you could try weld the tip on your new alloy stock but it will stick out about 1-1/4" more then it would.
This will make you lose the option of cruise control.
(1)option: If you do not care about the cruise control you could get a all black factory OEM signal lever 84-87 with (Mist OFF L0 Hl) markings this will fit you can pain with some of the alum paints or some of the chrome like paints or combo of the candy chrome paints. and it will fit in more like you want.(this will look like your now but will not have the button on the end or the switch horn sticking up for the resume of the cruise control.)
(2) option: You can change your column to 73-83 style with tilt or with out tilt. This means you have to change your dash face bezel to 73-83 to the stye your looking for to get the dash mount wiper switch. then you have re-wire the wire switch to the dash switch.
