I installed the Lokar linkage (finger tight) and it fits to the transmission easily. The power steering lines to the hydro were in the way of the linkage, so back to the drawing board on those.

Would you mind getting another picture or two of your Lokar linkage for me? I was planning to use the Lokar ACA-1800, which I'm assuming you used, but it looks almost impossible for me with limited clearance. I'm also using the Speed Engineering headers, but mine are the 25-1021 mids/shorts (https://www.speed-engineering.com/fe...c10-truck.html). I don't have my Ididit steering column installed yet, but it just doesn't look like the Lokar hard shift kit will clear. I may have to go with the cable shifter, ACA-1804. I'd rather not if I don't have to. Any help is appreciated.
