The illustration in that link is for a 4WD truck. If the OP's truck is 2WD the linkage will be entirely different.
The 2WD don't use a bellcrank assy. The shift rod goes directly from the arm on the steering column to the shift arm on the transmission.
Here's the 2WD version of the linkage. Scroll to the bottom half of the page.
