4spd OD manual trans...got a spare shifter?! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've got a 833 4spd manual overdrive trans that I'm putting into my '62 Suburban...actually, the trans is in it already (but needs to be rebuilt), and I've got a shifter for it too--which also very, very badly needs to be rebuilt.
Hurst has a rebuild service, but they've got a 2-month backlog. The truck can come down for a week or so while I have the trans rebuilt, but it's my daily driver.
Does anyone have a shifter for one of these transmissions?
A version of this transmission was found in Mopars, and I have one of those shifters, but the tail housing on the Chevy version is different, making the shifter bodies different, and it won't bolt up. It's an OE Chevy shifter (made by Hurst) or nothing it seems.
HELP!
