Just clearing up any misunderstanding.

 I'm glad you straigtened that out before it got out of hand!
I need the opinions from the group.
I have a 1961 Greenbrier 8 door deluxe. I bought it in California in 1994. While on the way  home I was caught in a tornado in Nebraska. It caused damage to the transmission  and the shift rod(we highsided the van on the dolly). It broke the input shaft and bent the rod in half.I bought a 1964 van and now have all the makings of a shifter change. I have eyeballed the change and wonder if going late model is better than repairing the old 61 4 speed shifter? The van is a fully optioned 73,000 mile black plate California van. To valuable to modify? Will I ruin a good van?
