If you are still wanting to use the Shifter on the Column, it will probably be a challange. The Side Covers are pretty much different from each other. Unless someone one on here can jump in with a good way to tackle it, you may just want to go with a Floor Shifter. By the way, you'll also need to shorten the Driveshaft.
