84 berlinetta dash swap and steering column? help

i have an 84 berlinetta with a 350 and a 700r4 with a stage 3 shift kit, i hate this stupid digital dash. can i get rid of it and go all autometer mechanical gauges?

and as for the left and right pods... half of the buttons dont work. i know they just need the solder reflowed on them but i would like to get rid of them if i can and go with a regular style heater control

and i hate the turn signal switch on it, could i just wire in a 3 way toggle switch?

please if anyone has info it would be appreciated. thanks.

An 85-86 donor car appears to be the best match for a Berlinetta conversion. There should be enough info in those liks to give you an idea at what's involved.
