Column shift auto to 4 speed?

[Demonic]

Can the inner shift sleeve be removed from an auto column shift car? My friend has part of a 4 speed column, the top. The plan is to slide out the shift sleeve and install the top to convert the column. I tried the search but I didn't get good results.

Yes you can.
EDIT : It is best to remove the column and disassemble.
If I remember the tube will come out the steering box end.

Depends on the years of the donor and recipient. If the same year, yes, you can swap parts to convert from column shift to floor shift.

When I converted my column, I found a floor shift steering column from a mid-eighties truck to rob the collars from, the ignition lock was slightly different on the inside, but looks exactly the same as a E-body one when assembled.

I have also seen where a person cut the nub off the column collar and used fiberglass to smooth it out, looked pretty good when done.
