Re: chevy van column shift in 55-59
Lokar and others make a cable setup that will work. If you don't have clearance issues with the brake arm you could modify a zee bar setup to work. The arm on the zee bar would need to be moved about 180 degrees. Search van steering columns, I'm sure someone has done it.

Re: chevy van column shift in 55-59
I have the same column & bought the Lokar cable shifter & it did not work . The supplied cable was not long enough. I then made a mechanizem to change the shifter to the engine side. It work like a charm. See att. pics.
