I guess I didn't take any pictures of the shifter linkage I made. I used the Lokar universal kit on my 55 Chevy car. After I saw how simple they are I made my own from hardware store parts. I bough a piece of 3/8 round stock and cut threads on it with a die. Threaded an end link on both ends and conected on end to the steering column shifter tab and the other to the transmission. On the transmission It is a flat piece of metal with a hole in one side and a slotted hole in the other that fits the shape of the piece that comes out of the transmission and attaches with a nut. If you don't feel like making it I think the Lokar one would work great and is simple to put together. I don't know what my steering column came out of but its not correct for the truck. PRND21 line up pretty good on the indicator. I just ordered an aftermarket tilt column and it came with an indicator that has PNRD321. I will post pictures of the tilt install and linkage when it comes in.
