Ashcroft Transmissions

So in addition to this, I'll just need the actuator and then I'm laughing?

Things sound like they're are about to get messy.

Lol, I'm gonna sus out the Ashcroft kit first while I'm tucking some coin away

Ashcrofts also have the CDL actuator kit also, so it looks factory.
It works on a cable system that replaces the Hi -Low cable setup up. Having said that the Old D1 system used linkages to do this, you can retrofit a link system from a d1 if you remove all the brackets and linkages.,

I'd love to have it wired to one of the blanks on the dashboard surround

No one has really come up with a reliable electric version. there were some marketed made from a windscreen wiper motor years ago that bolted to the top of the transfer with a bracket. they failed dismally as water and mud to into the motor.

There's nothing wrong with the new AMV electric cdl kits. My cousin had it on his D2 and never had a problem with it. And he did some pretty hard stuff. Water and deep mud. Pretty much any chance he had it was deep in mud and water. And it always worked.
