I have installed in my 1948 Chevy 3100 a 5.3 with 4L60 E transmission. I am using a 1970s a Chevy van tilt steering column with column shift. Under floor dual chamber non power master cylinder. I hooked my transmission shift lever to the steering column shift lever with 3/8 rod. I threaded each end of the rod for heim joints. Put both shift levers in park, cut the rod to that length allowing for the heim joints. Bend rod to fit. It will take several attempts to get it right. I used the Kugal shift arm on the transmission, it has infinite adjustability for the right position.
