Auto tilt question
 

My guess is its going to be fine, but … I have an auto tilt column stashed away and Im pretty sure its a column shift. Ill be using an auto floor shift though. Do I have to do anything to the internals or wiring of the column so it doesn't mess with starting, neutral safety .. etc?

The entire truck will have a new harness nose to tail.

And I absolutely don't want to pay the extreme price of purchasing an actual floor shift auto tilt column.

Just don't use the neutral safety/reverse switch on the column. You'll need to use the reverse light connection on the trans as well.
If you get a new harness for a floor shift it should already be taken care of.
The turn signal switch is separate from NSS & reverse lights.

If you're handy with a welder and epoxy/filler, you can make your own floor shift tilt out of the auto one you already have.

Sounds simple enough. Ill have to pull out my wiring diagram for the column and also check my new harness.

If you can't find a manual shift collar you can modify yours.

I removed the shift handle boss and indicator by hack sawing and grinding, cutting a couple of pieces of thin sheet metal that fit tight in the openings, and JB welding them in. Be sure to slip a thin piece of cardboard or metal down inside the collar to keep any JB Weld out of the inside of the housing. I wish I had taken more pictures.
