Auto Shifter Swap

I've got an '87 BII with an auto floor shifter and electronic 4WD selector on the headliner. I'd like to clean up the floor area and put an auto shifter on the collum (sp). i had just assumed that all BIIs had floor shifters and was thinking about pulling a collum from a Ranger to swap out. What do you guys think about it and what info (pro & con) do you have for me.

Not sure if these rigs are like the older autos, but I think the difference as far as the linkage on the tranny was the floor-shift setup has the link lever positioned so it's on top of the shaft and column on bottom. I could be wrong, but definitely a good point of consideration!
