I looked but don't see it anymore. I remember talking about that though.
I believe that if you can find a floor shift colomn the only difference is the part that the colomn shifter would bolt too. the floor shift colomn still works the same ( the collar still rotates because the colomn shift linkage is standard for all gbodys). There is a rod that runs down to the trans in the engine compartment on the fire wall. You can remove it and the worst that will happen is you have to grab the sleeve on the colomn and twist it to lock the steering/ign. by hand. It will vibrate itself out of alignment 1 or twice every few months. Basicly the colomn shift colomnn will work the same but it will have the nob were the shifter bolted to it. Hope that helps.
