Default Console Shifter conversion

So i have a 2015 f150 xlt and i was wondering how hard would it be to go from a steering wheel shifter to a console shifter? I already have a console but just want to know if its possible and how much would i look to spend

Out of curiosity, why the conversion?

I do prefer console shifters to column shifters for speed/ease of shifting, but in this case I'd rather keep the additional storage cubby, and I don't shift frequently enough for the column shifter to be a hindrance

Bought all the parts needed earlier this year still haven’t got to it . Also bought a wiring harness for the swap from Boosted GreyGoose. He doesn’t provide directions for this but told me when I was ready to do the swap he would walk me through it.

I bought the harness from Grey Goose, did all the work myself. It's not bad to do, just take your time. It takes a special steering wheel shroud, and it was hard to find.
