Maybe performing this modification would allow your shifter linkage to clear your brake booster by placing it in front of the booster. I'm having a hard time telling from your photos how far forward the shifter linkage would have to move. Taking some measurements first would help to determine whether this would work.
I will try to get some accurate measurements and post them.

Is there another year of C10 steering column or other truck column that puts the shift lever lower on the column?

Switching out the column would be alot easier than swapping out my booster, mastercylinder and lines, rear discs and everything then having to bleed the system again and figuring out what brake rod I would need. Losing my rear disc brakes not to mention the cost of buying everything again.
