Manual trans to Auto Swap-Need some advice

Hey Guys, Got my 16 year old son a 68 chevy lwb fleet this summer for his first vehicle. It's a 283 with 3 on the tree. We've been working on it and driving it for practice with the 3-speed. I really think he will get the hang of it but he did take out our gate backing out of the driveway the other day. My question is if we switch to an Automatic trans which would you guys suggest? We have a 68 parts truck with original automatic powerglide. Would it be best to use this steering column and tranny or a TH350 or what? Would it be better to get a tranny from Summit or Jegs and which tranny do you guys suggest. Thanks Guys, Jeff.
