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. https://bowtieguy.proboards.com/thre...ce-bezels-fits this will help show you the break downs.
This is pic shows wiper motor break down.

I hope this May help you.
Thanks for the info. I was looking at videos online and saw something that caught my eye. I took a screen shot of this fellows earlier steering column and turn signal lever and how it attaches to the turn signal switch. The switch I have has the same area where I could use a screw on turn signal lever. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm thinking the older style lever should work on my switch. I do have 4 wires coming off my turn signal lever but I'm hoping that is all for the options on the switch and the turn signal is operated off the turn signal switch itself.
