You need to check for B&M, Lokar or Hurst and see if they have a conversion for your transmission, there are other companies out there. But I cannot think of them at the moment.

Are you going to go a full manual valve body in your conversion?

I have a Lokar in my truck and I really like it. I put the overdrive switch on a push/pull switch and attached it to the side of the shifter. Makes it look like it has the old 2 speed rearend. Really cool I think

Sorry it took so long. Been really busy. but here is what I did with my Locar shifter and overdrive switch. I plan on using a pacbrake electric switch so it looks a little nicer. But thats when time and money and necessity call for it
