Are you sure its a NP 435. The NP 435 has an aluminum cover and should come right off. Most of the 68 up Chevs. had the SM465. It has to be half way into reverse to remove or replace the cover. Remove the gearshift lever by putting a pair of pliers on the coller. Push down & turn it about an eight in. turn counterclockwise. The handle should come out. Then you might be able to go into the hole with a big screwdriver & move the rails to get them lined up.
