Converting To C4 Question

[EveBYoung]

I searched a little but didn't exactly find this answered (probably because the answer is obvious and I just don't know it. I apologize in advance for being a complete newbie )
When you swap out a rebuilt 3 speed manual transmission on the floor for a c4 automatic, i understand that you have to replace the shifter as well (for instance with an art carr shifter from wildhorses). but what happens to the seperate 4 wheel drive shifter that's also in the floor?
here's a pic of how it's set up now

Sorry I don't what I'm doing :-[ . haha
Thanks!

The transfer case shifter will stay in the same location.

So the c4 shifter will have to be installed as far to the left as the manual is right now? I was hoping I could center it more when I replaced it.

The auto shifters are cable operated. You can mount them where ever you like. If you have a 3speed floor shift, then your going to want to plug that huge hole on the side of the tunnel.

When I had my c-4 I used an Art Carr shifter and simply mounted it between the seats, I had/have the same plastic buckets you have.

You can also put the shifter on the column. This is typically more costly, but has a cleaner look.

I currently have a rachet shifter from B&M. Not the best unit for 4x4's, but I found it on Craigslist for cheap.

Another good option is Lokar products. Some of the Lokar's have linkage shifters available. They also has other shifters that look like a manual shifter if you are going after that look. They build high quality products.

Decide what look you want and go for it. Bronco's are the owners art pieces. Everyone is a little different, just like all of us.

What parts would be needed to go from 3 speed on the floor to auto on the steering column (apart from the parts needed for the conversion regardless of location)?

Auto column and shaft to connect to steering box, linkage to connect column lever to trans lever. There may be some wiring involved depending on the year of your Bronco and what the donor column comes from.
