Normally if it's been converted to floor shift that means the previous owner didn't want to mess around with trying to fix sticking or broken linkage in the column. You'll just have to find the shifter linkage rods from the column to the transmission and reattach them and see why the conversion was made, and then go from there.

Thanks for the advice, but it seems that when it was converted to floor shift, previous owner pulled all of the linkages out of the column. Any tips on where i could buy the needed parts? What parts are necessary for this conversion?

You would probably have the best luck looking in a salvage yard, or try posting an ad in the Parts Wanted section. If it were me, I would just get a different column rather than try to piece all the parts back together.
