Make sure that your shifter is fully compatable with the T-10 since the reverse lever is back on the tail case.

First, welcome newbie!
Second, you may want to mock everything in there to see where your shifter needs to be. In the case of my F-1, stock style shifters would not work without major cab modifications, which was not high on my list of priorities. You may end up having to get a universal style 4-speed shifter and calculate lengths of your shift linkage to work. Typically the shifters were mounted further back on the tail shaft, in my case it came out under the bench. I lucked out and found a shifter for a van that bolts up to my case instead of the tail shaft. I am not sure if something like that would work for you or not. I am still looking for a Hurst style shifter to replace my sloppy FoMoCo shifter. People joke that my truck shifts more like a Kenworth than a Ford!

It uses the top two bolts from the case to the tail shaft to mount the bracket, the shifter itself mounts to the drivers side. The shifter itself is sloppy and loose...not the best available IMO. If I could find a Hurst shifter that would work without major modification, I would make the bracket and use a Hurst. I don't have a lot of experiance with the T-10, nor do I pretend to, so I am not sure if this would work on your setup or not. What I do know is I fell into this van shifter, fortunately it worked. I paid $20 for the shifter from a friend.
You can kinda see it here...I will see if I can get something better.
