47-55.1 Column or floor shifter??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Im finishing up my daughters 1954 Chevy pickup, we are doing an S10 swap. I have two buddies that are mechanics that are helping. They are polar opposites when it comes to deciding whether or not to do a column shift or floor shifter. One says I have to go floor shift because its a hot rod and the only way to go. The other says I have to do a column shift because a floor shifter wouldnt look right in a truck. What are peoples thoughts? What do most people do with a hot rod truck???

Any input to end the debate would be great!

btw... its an auto transmission.
