1986 Steering Column in a 1968

Today I acquired a steering column out of a 1986 full sized Chevy truck. The Straight Collapsible shaft looks Identical to the Collapsible shaft in my 68 C10 except how it connects to the actual column. Overall length and mounting to the steering box appears to be the same..
The Column is Tilt, was Free, so I snagged it. My question is I can see the wiper, signal controls and all that are on the column from the 86, and those controls are mostly on the Dash of the C10. I also see the harnesses are different so is there a way to match or punch (Connect Wiper to wiper, signal to signal, Ignition to Present in dash ignition/ wiring) from the Column to the /C10 Harness and remove the old switches but have everything working from the column ?? Or if someone out there has a wiring diagram of the steering column for a 1986 truck and a diagram for a 68 C10 with the color codes and assignment for each wire? Has anyone on here done such a Swap?
86 column in a 68?
thanks
