Yep...that's the plan.

It appears that the transfer case linkage that the shifter connects to is missing the pin. I think the linkage should have a pin at each end if I am not correct I am sure someone will chime in. I believe it should be silver soldered or some kind of brazing to hold it in.

Great build you have going here.

That chassis looks amazing !
Very good attention to detail.

It didn't seem unusual at tear down, I would welcome comments on this...Dwayne you're sending me scurrying through posts to see if my shift connection had been rigged up. My shifter connected to the linkage shown with a bolt/bushing/pin set up. The shifter is currently at the chromer.

Sorry didn't mean to send you scurrying just I could be wrong but looked at the link below. I am thinking that is the way yours should look let me know what you find.

Thanks for the pic (link) Dwayne.

...well it's getting late, I'm away from home and the truck for the holidays (so unfortunately, I can't just go look at what's hanging in a bag on the wall)...and I've searched and searched and searched for a clear pic on the site (I don't have a before pic of mine that shows my set up)...and the attached pic is all I came up with. Borrowed obviously from elsewhere on the board, it appears to show a bolt through the shifter. I guess mine could have broken or been drilled out, but it sure does seem clean. I'm anxious to get home and look at my hardware...but I think mine may have come with a bolt hole and not a pin. Again, experts weigh in for me. They had at least three transfer case shift levers in two different finishes that year, so it stands to reason they might have had more than one shift link...Thanks for looking and speaking up Dwayne. There's just too much stuff to keep up with on these trucks. It definitely takes a village to build one...
