Flaming river makes an adaptor for your column, or you need a manual shaft. I cant remember if the pitman arm is the same or not. Very simple to do, then an alignment

No, it's just an extention. Not with a swivel.  Jacksboys has one on his car. I saw it when he came over. It's around 3.5 inchs long maybe 4

I don't have a picture of it but I have one on my car. Got it from Mopar direct. it is basically an extension for the shaft and I used the same pitman arm. I'll see if I can find the part number.

Looks like all three are the same price (Mopar, Mancini and Firm Feel) stay away from swivel joints.

The pitman arm is different on the 73-74, unless you use a b-van gear box.
