transmission swap

I have a 56 F100, swapping out original engine putting in a 302, would like to use a 5 speed transmission out of a mustang. Concerned the shifter may be too close to the seat. Truck has a stock bench seat in it.
Any suggestions as to what may fit?

Wow That's a good question! I don't know, bu tI'm wondering if there are different shifter options you could use.

Anyway, at least this response will bump your thread back up to the top!

Welcome to FTE by the way!
