Need Help With 63 C-10

[JDs1963]

Hi yall, im new to this forum...I have a 63 c10 shortbed stepside with a good running 305. The transmission in this truck is a borg warner t-16, when the trans swap was done by previous owner they hacked the shift rods up and welded them back so it would work (3speed on column). They dont work correctly, they are pain to get to shift. This trans far as i know is a heavy duty three speed from a 68 and operates well minus shift rods. I Would like to swap it to a three speed in the floor to eliminate all the previously mentioned problems, but i havnt been able to find hardly any info on the trans or doing a floor swap with it, or any floor shifter that will bolt up to the t-16. Is this trans a white elephant? I dont want to have to do a bunch of fab work to make this truck a floor shifter, just want something easy to install so i can get her on the road again.....If any body has any info on a compatable floor shifter your help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.....Thanks J.D.
