Mike, I took the stock shifter arms, cut them off and tack welded into the
same orientation as the old three speed and tried them out. In your case you
will have to go by pictures or by another persons truck. After a couple of tries
when I was happy they worked I welded them up. A little time consuming but no
reason to trash the column shifter.
