1953 auto to manual

I just picked up a 1953 chevy pickup. It has a 327 backed by a auto trans. I wanted to put it back to a manual transmission and have a muncie m21. Does anyone have any ideas on what would be the best way to set this up. Thank you

Are you going to keep the bench seat?

I was planning on keeping the bench seat if it wont cause too much of an issue. The previous owner put in a s-10 steering column, so no more 3 on tree.
