leegreen,
Thanks for the leads, gave places to search and found some that’ll work:

————————————————————

—————————————————————
Lever type like in the bench seat slot pick in 1st post ~$700

——————————————————————

And definitely no offense taken.
Car came auto and just kept all intact.
Speartech built a driveline harness that’ll drive the transmission computer-I hope!


fauXGT,
Good lead, looked up Genny and the home page had me at
“Made in America
All Gennie Shifter products are proudly made in the USA.”
Looks to be maybe &300 - $400
I’ll give em a call this week!
And i really like your tunnel and shifter fab skills.


mr48chev,
Yours and guys on site with experience is the “imagineering skill?” I need.
You got me thinking of a possible option to keep column termination inside firewall, maybe use Ididit custom shorter length with column shift and use a second fabbed bracket off floor (primary one under dash) THEN use your idea of cable through floor and back to tranny.
Super solid since support at dash, inner firewall clamp and steering shaft through pillow block

Then on to steering box.
Thanks again, constantly learning from you guys.

So probably about a wash on cost except for PCS unit since Non-column shift Ididit saves ~$350 -400 to use toward shifter.
All the floor shifters would likely have to mount above floor in cab just under front of bench and slot bench as in picture above. So they all need cable through floor.

One thing I just thought of-planning to mount almost all electrical (engine and transmission computers, fuses, Bluetooth sound driver, etc under seat and slide out drawer forward from under bench.
Shifter on floor makes that more complicated but not impossible (2 drawer or slot, etc).

I’ll sleep on it.
Any more leads welcome!
