I put a 1962 261 with a 3 spd and overdrive in my 53 3100 and am now at the point of needing to hook up a column shifter. My truck had a 4 spd so to convert to the 3 spd I bought an AD column shift assembly only to find it requires a bell housing with a pin and bell crank to hook up one of the shift arms. The 62 bellhousing has no pin or stud for that sort of hookup.

What I've done to date:
I looked at a floor shifter but it doesn't appear the shift rods will get past the governor and lock out mechanisms on the OD and no one seems to make a floor shifter for a 3 spd and OD.

I looked at a 58-59 column shift which looks like it may not require the intermediate pin and bell crank but couldn't tell as a quick peek was all I got.

I thought about drilling and tapping a stud in my 261 bell housing but don't know if its even the same size as AD 3 spd bell housings

I don't think I can change bellhousings because my 62 is set up for the hydraulic clutch mechanism and the slave cyl for that mounts on the right side of the bell housing.

I thought I was doing something good with the 261/3spd/OD setup but the law of unintended consequences is giving me a mental wedgie on this one and I'd appreciate any help.
