Moving shifter to the floor

64 F100 2wd
Short recap (because i know you guys all love my stories):

I changed out a chevy steering column for a ford column, but the ford column didn't have the shifter. I have a C4 automatic transmission. So I'm going to move the shifter to the floor. Does anyone have any recommendations for a shifter? I can buy new or buy used. I guess I'll need the cable, too.

This sounded pretty close to a discussion like what you are asking about.

I used a ford Aerostar automatic, cable driven, floor mount shifter. It took very little modification to install it in my 67 ford truck. It was much better looking than those floor shifters made for cars. The handle is tall and feels right in the truck.

This is a picture to give an idea. I did this install almost twenty years ago. I have posted about it in the past when this question has come up. They are still available in the junkyards and can be bought for 10 to 15 bucks.
