Year One or another catalog that sells the parts needed may have diagrams to show you what may be missing to.. Just another option ive had to use before.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm converting my column shift to an auto floor shift. I believe I have everything, just need pics of where everything goes. Can someone take a picture of the bracket locations on the floor? I believe I have the rear and middle figured out, but not sure where the front bracket goes. Are there any marks/indents on the floor pan to guide? Also can someone show where the rod from the shift linkage fits in the piece that goes down vertically through the floorboard?
Thanks,
Patrick

Can I get a picture from the driver's side where the Front/First bracket gets welded to the floor?

When I did mine I found that pictures don't help because there's few or no reference points that are common across all cars. The best thing to do is get the front bracket installed by focusing on the placement of the shaft that drops down to the tranny. You get that one in the right spot then the other brackets can cue to that one.
Install the retainer bracket (part 19-48-46 on bigredbird's diagram) on the tranny (if it doesn't already have one), put the front bracket on and drop the shaft into the tranny bracket though the cut out circle on the floor pan. Make sure the shaft is straight up and down front to back and left to right, and that's where the front bracket should be mounted.
Once you get the front bracket mounted, you can attach the rod that runs to the shifter, and that will show you where the shifter bracket should be located. The hardest bracket to mount is the one that holds down the rear of the console. I mounted the front two, put the console on, then stuck a scribe through the rear screw slot of the console a made a mark on the floor pan where the screw hole would be. I lined up the bracket so the screw hole was over the mark on the floor pan and mounted it.

I guess I'll be waiting a while as I currently am rebuilding the transmission and don't have it installed yet.
