Diesel Bombers - 1st gen from SoCal

Hi. I have a 1991 dodge d250 (preintercooled) with a dying 727. I bought it for $2000 with 190k on it. Runs very strong. I have a pdr fuel pin and soon a 3200 spring. Im going to be replacing my 727 with a getrag soon. I have 99% of the parts for the swap. Just need a shifter stub.which I'm having a hard time finding from a reliable and reasonable person. The body is pretty beat, actually it looked worse before. After the trans swap I'll replace my hollow doors and the fenders. For as beat as it looks I get compliments all the time when I'm out and about. Not sure why but I'll take them
