Slap stick in a-body console

Has anyone done this yet. I am thinking of trying it but I need a slap stick shifter. Ball style. I believe it can be done if you know a good machinist. I just need a Ball style slap stick and I will do it.

I need to weld the brackets in the Duster for floor shift before I edge the car for assembly. This way I can paint the floor at the same time. So if I am ever going to do it its gonna be now. I believe the top plate has to be milled and the shifter rod shortened and modified for the front assembly.

I put one on the floor of a bench seat big block Dart in the past It worked Great. Would I do that again? No . It was what I had and no money for a aftermarket one.

But putting one in a A-body console would be different. I am sure it was done by someone with the right equipment and nothing to do but screw off all day. Once it is done and documented the rest get easier.
I can have my friend laser cut the plate and my son do the milling and tig weld the a-body handle on.

Now let me see who would have a old shifter no car to use it in and may need something from me someday. Oh yeah. I might know someone. His name starts with a "J" and ends with a "M" One thing for sure "I" will never give up the the other letter.
