I'm figuring out that the first V8 in the '55 truck used the bent shift arm to clear the exhaust manifold. I will be happy to eliminate the intermediate pivot arm that was used on the 235. Where do I find brass linkage bushings?......sounds better that the rubber ones. Now I just need to find a '55-58 complete column. Not only for the newer shifter box, but also for the factory turn signal assembly. thanks for all of the suggestions....pictures say it all..
