[QUOTE=mcgarrett;2439280]jonahboo,
I didn't notice if you had the Flathead V8 or the stock 6 cyl, but you could also consider this option if you have the V8. Installing this kit would get you close to the finish line, but you would still have to decide between a floor shift and keep your stock steering column or swap in an aftermarket steering column and linkage to keep the shifter on the column. Yes, it's pricey.

Thanks
Very pricey

And I would still have issues with needing the (2) rear bell house to cross frame supports which prevents the motor from rotating
Only has 1 front (centered) mount

Flathead V8

Last year of flathead v8
First year of new body style ((f100))
