Column shift lever hitting my brake booster...any suggestions?

My truck is a 1968 Chevy C10 shortbed that originally came with a 396 engine, 400 turbo transmission with column shift and manual 4 wheel drum brakes.

I recently upgraded the brakes to 4 wheel disc,installed a new 9 inch power brake booster and a custom brake booster bracket that moves the booster closer to the firewall.

The problem I am having is that now my column shift lever is hitting the bottom of the power brake booster and it will not let me shift it into park anymore.

You can see in this pic that the shift lever will now only go barely past reverse and is now resting on that detent bump located on the shifter plate behind that lever that separates reverse and park position.

Is there any adjustment on the steering column that can be made that will give me a little clearance so the lever will go into park?
