I just recently put a van collumn in a 62 with same trans. I bought a Kugel
Komponents transmission shift arm connection kit. There are 2 kits
available-(short,10 1/2''-17'') or (long,17''-23 1/2'') so measure from
pivot on collumn to pivot on trans to know desired length. You will probably
need the long version. I have not installed yet but I'm sure it will work
perfectly! They are priced at $39.95 and available from just about any Hot
Rod shop but I bought mine from Greer Enterprises in
Richland,Washington.Phone # 509-627-3411 from 1:00PM -9:PM Monday-Friday
