Were they for your model truck? I have used a set off of a 69 camaro and they fit up just about like you described. I wound up using a lokar cable but their direct rod should work too.

No pics right now but they hit smack dab in the middle of the collector. I can get it into nutral but thats as far as i can go. Do you guys have a part number and price?

What one would you guys recomend, The rod or the cable?

The only reason I can think of going with the cable is if revving/towing will cause the drivetrain to flex enough to change gears for you.

well i dont think ill be flexing the truck to much with reving im not going to be over 350 hp or anything so i think the rod should work for me. Thanks alot guys this really helps. Can i get a pick of anyones set up?
