Any advice on converting column shifter to floor shifter.

[Ktown08]

Have a 69 Chevy, new to the site. Just asking for any advice or suggestions for the best way to convert the column shifter to the floor or should I just keep it on the tree and beef it up some if possible. Been slacking and haven't mess with her for awhile. Have been thinking about doing this for too long now just would like some ideas from some who has done it before. I'm only 23 years old just learning still.

Thanks a lot guys,

Kyle
