The column you have should be fine. Simply adjust it so that "OD" is "D" on your lever. If you don't want OD, just pull it into "L2", which is now "D" with that trans. I had a '68 Skylark with a ST300 (other brand's version of the Powerglide) that I ran for many years after I swapped in a 305 Chevy with a 700 (4R) trans. drove it over 40k miles before I sold the car, but not because the trans failed.
