i used the stock rod down to the side of the frame and then from there i went to the salvage yard and grabbed a few bell cranks as fab stock to make what i want. Purchased from gm a new white plastic cup for the frame mount pocket and then worked with factory manual lever that attaches on the trans. I would tack weld up various layouts untill i had full travel into manual low and all detents work. Took some time but works nice.

A shift cable will probably be easier. If gm used it on a truck with a od trans i would try that. Good luck.

just an update.... snagged an OE cable from a 2004 tahoe attached on trans side with factory bracket. turned the pivot point on column around facing firewall attached cable built a bracket for the cable mount bolted to inner fender. works well so far and i have about 4 dollars in the project

Ditto on Hart Rods recommendation (Lokar). Just make sure to be patient with the install. I jacked up my first install by cutting the rod to short-couldn't get the shifter to 1st gear. Measure 4 times cut once.

FYI, You can buy the rod by itself if you need a new one.

That's exactly what I did Hart Rod. Install pending warmer weather.
