    Just a thought...
    When I have done column to floor swaps, I have just cut off the shifter boss from the column sleeve. Then fill it with expoxy or filler. Then sand and paint.
    Easy job and cheaper than seeking a smooth shift collar or entire column.
    Especially when the only visible difference between them is the smooth collar... and it is removeable just at the 'not smooth' collar is.
    Just a tip...
