When I ran a powerglide in my car I used a B&M Ratchet Shifter mounted above my transmission.  I used a push/pull rod that actuated the shifter and another to push the reverse lock out.  I was looking through my phone to find a picture but I haven’t run the glide in 5 years so they are must be on an old computer.  I drilled a hole in the shift handle below the threads that the knob screws on to and used a heim joint to a 1/2” shaft and put the knob on the other end.  The knob was positioned on the rear housing below the steering wheel.

We use a B&M Pro Stick, doesn't take up much room.  mounted on right hand side, there isn't any spare room.

Neil and Parks sale a tube shifter about as small as you get. I think 550.00 check their site.

these pop up from time to time, one of the best small shifters made for a glide.... i had one in my RED years ago, was between my legs mounted to the front seat bar, very easy to reach down and shift
