Has anyone switched the shifter from the column to a floor shifter with an E4OD trans? If so, which shifter did you use?

Ok, so I am technologically challenged. Shifter has been in for a while, could not figure out how to post a pic. Maybe this will work? Also, pulled all the shifter parts from steering column.
yo OPY!
Thanks for coming back and posting the pic. neat stuff!
have any installation tips for others?

Everyone I talked to including Summit Racing said it won't work. I installed the shifter as a normal 3 speed, then ran the overdrive wire from the steering column shifter to the NOS button on the B&M shifter. The handle with button was $35 extra, we had also wired it to a toggle switch and it worked fine, just figured the switch in the handle looked better. The shifter is still rather stiff, but it shifts my truck unlike the old broken column shifter. Total outlay of hard earned cash was about $250 from Summit. Fit in easily in front of the center console, no real major problems with install...
