get an automatic cross member out of a 67-72 model. I saw one on ebay a few weeks ago for 25 bucks. You will have to also get the transmission that you want to use. remove the old tranny and linkages and put the other under the truck, jack it up and put the cross member under it to find out where it needs to be bolted, them either bolt or weld it in. But a shifter kit, floor mounted will be easier and hook the linkages up.. you could do the whole this for around 300 bucks ir you're lucky to find a few deals
