overdrive install questions

I picked up a T85N 3 speed overdrive tranny out of a 67 F100 352 3 speed. I got everything wiring, cable, solinoids, switch, everything. Is there a plug I can plug the wiring harness into for the O/D under the dash? Also will a floor shifter for a regular ford 3 speed work with this 3 speed.

Ford didn't offer a 3 speed manual trans with a floor shifter in trucks after 1952.

The truck had a 3 speed on the column and then was changed to a floor shift with a Hurst shifter. Just wondering if the shifter will blt up to this tranny and what does it take to wire it up.
