Rebuilt 79-83 steering column

I just received a rebuilt 79-83 tilt column from Wayne at GM Tilt Columns in Indiana. Have to say it's very nicely done, and looks almost new. Ignition switch is new, and so is the "shift bowl", along with several other parts. It even included a new lock cylinder and keys. No slop at all in the shift handle, and action is very smooth. Called him twice with questions, and both times he picked up the phone after 1-2 rings.

Now I need to determine the best way to connect the bottom lever to the TH350 trans. (The truck did have a manual trans.)
This Lokar kit is pretty nice, but should be for $60.
