Message: I have wondered the same thing, but I have a 99. My first thought was that I would need a 4-speed shifter but upon deeper thought a 3-speed is what would be needed with a momentary contact switch on the shifter for the OD engage/disengage. I have ment to get under mine here lately, most use the same type of attachment to the trans, might need to fab a bracket.

Message: i have a B&M shifter in my 98 dakota. It worked just fine with the four speed because. as mentioned before, you only need a switch for forth gear. It's electronic.
You will have to modify the stock shift lever a little bit (nothing a grinder and drill bit cannot fix) and you will need to make a bracket to mount the cable under the truck (to hold the cable sleeve in place so the shifter can pull the inner cable)

Message: I put a B&M truck megashifter in my '98 this past summer. I called B&M and was told that anything designed to fit a 727 or 904 Torqueflite will bolt right up to an A500. Information correct, It took more time to scribe and fit the B&M console to the hump than it did to install the shifter. I also ordered a B&M shifter handle with the switch in it. It works flawlessly and in ratchet mode you can control the shift points way better than the computer.
