Need Picture of Linkage

Does anyone have a picture of the original 2wd 350 turbo column shifter linkage from the trans to the frame? Also, I haven't looked under the truck yet, but is there factory holes for the trans linkage mounting bracket. The reason I ask is that my truck was originally a 3sp manual. Just wondering if all frames have those holes. thanks for any help.....

Re: Need Picture of Linkage

I donīt know what the linkage looks like for a 350 but here is the one I have on my 400.
Hope it helps a little.
The notch was cut out to make room for the exhaust.

I would use Lokar or Kugel Komponents linkage kit. Hassle free, easy to install, and a way better design than factory linkage. There are only 2 pivot points in it, and you will never have sloppy shifts again. Plus, if you have a 700 r4, you can dial it in so your shift indicator lines up perfectly

Re: Need Picture of Linkage

Thanks for the pics guys. That's exactly what I was looking for. I am using the Lokar linkage kit now & hate it. I've tried adjusting it per instructions & without. It never lines up to the shifter indicator & I get engine vibrations thru the column. Going to try this factory setup & see if it is any better. It worked for the GM Engineers, so we'll see.

Maybe Kugel is different then...I thought they were similar. I use Kugel and it took me less than an hour to install/dial it in. If you get the stock linkage to work that is great!
