Steering Colum Shifting - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I aquired a Steering Column from a 79 Suburban that had a 700R4 transmission and installed it in my project 78 SWB with a Turbo 400 transmission. The shifter will not allow me to put the transmission into park and it will also start in reverse. The truck was orignally a stick shift so the original column does not have a shifter on it.

Does anyone know if this combination is possible or not? If it is not will a column from a pickup with a Turbo 350 work or will I need to get one from a pickup with a Turbo 400?
