I fashioned a rod from 3/8" stainless rod and using 3/8" Heim joints on both ends.
It shifts as good as any of my other auto trucks, but of course the indicator doesn't line up exactly and it won't go all the way into 1st gear manually.
I can live with that.
this is before I attached the rod ends.

Thank you! My truck has a bracket that looks similar to that, although welded to the inside of the frame. This helps me orient the connection, though. Hopefully, I'll get some time to get it hooked up this weekend. Thank you so much for the picture!!!
