Exclamation Column to Floor shifter Conversion

I am planning on converting my column shifter to the floor....any recommendations on what shifter to get? Is the Mr. Gasket kit a good choice. (Its readily available at Auto Zone)...

Beware of the shifters that were made for cars. They work, but tend to be a little short and you have to bend way over to shift.
I bought the B&M lighttruck Megashifter, and I love it. It sits nice and tall and no more missed shifts.

Beware of where your shifter location will end up. Car shifters mount further back on the tranny then where you would find them located on a truck.
