dashpad from a C60 to a C10

hello all. hoping someone can offer some advice. I have an opportunity to purchase parts from a 77C60. I have only seen pics of it and know its rotting away in a farm field roughly 150 miles from me. Wanted to grab dashpad, cluster, steering wheel and any other misc parts i can think of before it goes to the scrapper. It would be for my barebones 77C10. Reasons for the swap are as follows:
Dashpad- although it appears slightly different, its in surprisingly good shape. My current one looks like a wolverine attacked it.
Cluster- the C60 one appears super clean as mine has sun faded needles. More importantly, i like the fact the C60 has actual gauges as opposed to that one idiot light for brake gauge in my C10. What would be needed to make voltage?amperage gauge and what appears to be a vacuum gauge functional for my application in my C10?
Steering wheel- the crown jewel, lol. I like the big old chrome horn cap, like the old school look of the bigger wheel and my C10 doesnt have PS so it would be functional. So my other questions. Since i have a 150 mile roadtrip to to get to this thing, i need to be completely prepared to. Wanted a gameplan of attack to minimize time working out in the cold. Was gonna just cut column with a sawzall and deal with removing correctly when i get home. I have 3 speed on column so one in C60 wouldnt work. Maybe the rear glass as well? Not a fan of that cheesy looking center slider. Thanks in advance to any insight, i believe it has a seized 283/4speed. maybe the dash wiring harness is mice didnt get to it? idk
