The steering column is the same for a Floorshift Automatic or Floorshift 3/4 Speed. They're not too hard to find and they're pretty cheap. The last one I bought cost me $10 and only needed a new ignition cylinder/lock cylinder.
The pedals are a little tougher to find, but are still out there. I'm sure somebody on here has a set they'd sell.
I don't know if one of the Dakota 5-Speeds will fit in the car without mods, but if you do get one make sure you get an NV3500 or NV3550 5-Speed at the very least. Stay away from the AX15 and NV2500 transmissions. I wouldn't trust either of those behind a bone stock Slant 6 driven by my grandmother.
Actually, come to think of it, you can only use the Dakota transmissions with Small Blocks in your application (unless you want a 4-cylinder). The NV2500, 3500 and 3550 have an Integrated Bellhousing (The Bell is part of the transmission case), The AX15 has a bolt on bell, which is used sometimes with an Import Transmission (R154?). And none of them ever had anything other than a Chrysler 2.2/2.5 Bell, GM 2.5 Bell, and Small Block Mopar Bell. So that leaves out the /6 guys and BB guys too.
