Hey Tim, how did that shift linkage kit work out for you? I tried to use the real Lokar version on on my 82 C10 (because I don't like CPP), but the rod needed to be bent to clear the firewall and the heim joints didn't have enough "misalignment". I finally gave up and found some OE linkage that served me well.
