700R4 shifter/column options?

Just wondering...I want to be able to manually select L1 for the sake of dragracing...and I can't do it with the stock column (not to mention, while Park lines up, Reverse is on N, Neutral is on D, Overdrive is on L2, Drive is on L1, and 2 is on the edge of the indicator). I can't select 1.

Are there any good ratchet floor-mount shifters that would work well in a low-hump cab with a stock benchseat? Or what vehicles could I get a column out of that would be a bolt-in or near-bolt-in? Would going to the ever-popular van-tilt column get me a 700R4-compatible shifter? I really don't care about tilt, the stock position fits me great...

Or is there something I can do to my current column to get to L1? Not too much, hopefully, since I don't want to put a whole lot of work into it...it really needs to be rebuilt and I'd just as soon get another column in better shape. Besides, my backup light switch is kinda far off as a result of the shifter being so far off..

I'd love to do an Ididit, but those are just plain expensive...I'd come out money ahead with a nice no-shifter column and a ratcheting floor shifter, my guess.
