Wanted: Chevy trans parts

Hey guys,
my '85 Chevy 700r4 took a dump when a friend borrowed it a few months ago. I plan to replace it with an SM465/NP205 combo I have on hand, and need parts for the conversion.

Looks like I need:
-clutch pressure plate and disk
-clutch pedal and linkage assembly
-possibly drive lines if they are not the right length

I would also like to ditch the original non-tilt steering column with the auto shifter on it for a tilt-model without the shifter.

If you know of any other items needed for this conversion or have any of these parts you would like to sell, please let me know.

if your using a hydraulic system(not the mechanical) make sure to use a diaphragm clutch not the 3 finger ones as they will not work, i fought that the whole way when i converted my 79 from turbo 400 to sm465

I plan to use whatever stock setup Chevy had for a clutch in '85. As far as I know, those were all cable/mechanical?
