The factory tilt will work.Are you asking,what to do for a shift indicator?I suppose you could modify or make one using the lense from a later-model w/OD.

The indicator is the main concern, not being all that up to date on steering columns from vans we need to know if a 3 spd indicator can be modified to work or if we have to find one from a OD trans?
Thanks Guy's

I have heard if you use a factory tilt, the Flaming River replacement lens will work. Looks just like factory 67-72 or van lens but has O/D position on it.
I emailed them asking this, and I was told:

If your stock pointer is notched,so that it slides on the lower part of
the indicator lens,then our lens will work for you.
The part number for the lens,is FR20010LNO, for a price of $19.20.

Best Regards,

So, anyone know if this will work?
