[Bill Bradley]

Thanks Dale
i knew i'd hear from you on this one.
I have the outer plate without the hole for 
the gear indicator ready to go into my dash cluster all i need there 
is a new lens.

else?

  I think there’s a 
  company that makes original-style a/t shifter for a Powerglide/console 
  car.  On the column you should be able to grind off the shifter mounting 
  protrusion and fill it.  You’ll probably have to change out your neutral 
  safety switch for a floor shift mounted type and swap the speedo housing since 
  it wouldn’t have the PRNDL setup there.

  Oh Ye Chevelle

  Sorry, i've got a 
  bad case of the "can't help it's" today. Lets get right to the point! 
  
  
  I have a spare 
  steering column for my 67 Chevelle Malibu with an automatic transmission , the 
  spare is also an automatic column shift . my plan is to convert one to a 
  floor shift column and then swap them out so i can install my console and 
  automatic floor shifter.
  
  Anyone with previous 
  experience converting an automatic column to a floor shift column please toss 
  that knowledge my way. 
  
  also, if anyone has 
  converted from bench seat to buckets and console i could use all the help i 
  can get.i'm feeling a little better since my surgerys and its time to get with 
  the program!
  
  thanks
