The shifter will work as long as it has the same hair pin setup as factory.
Putting an OD in is a little more involved with modifying the rods and transmission levers.
If you know how to weld it's easy, it's a bit of a pain though.
Are you putting an OD in a B body or putting the shifter in a truck with OD?
Hoping to use the shifter in my truck. My factory shifter is worn and sloppy, I figured an upgrade to the comp plus would tighten things up considerably. PLUS, it comes with the pistol grip shifter I've been wanting to add as well!
