If you go to a console shift just use a HQ-HZ TH400 shifter or rebuild a trimatic one back to front.

Another option which I did in my Overlander tonner was to actually make it a floor shift (not console shift), I used a later UC trimatic shifter which have the shift indication integral to the shfter and simply got a vinyl boot made up for it. The shifter is identical to a TH400 one, just has the extra mountings on the top for the shift indication. You can see it in the attached pictures.
