There's no way to convert a 4 speed to a column shift on a F Series pickup. No F series pickup ever had 4 on the tree, so there's no parts available.

Thanks Bill. Thats what I figured, I just wanted to make sure. Since I need the interior space, I think Ill go with an auto since I was planning on changing the column anyway. What else is needed besides the flywheel, column, pedals, and radiator?

you can use the rad you have just put a $20 cooler infront of it for the auto trans.you can also just take out the clutch pedal and leave the brake pedal there. when ya go to the j-yard to get a colum dont forget the rod that goes to the trans

)The 240/300 sixes use different starters M/T or A/T. The 360/390 starters are the same.
