Since Bumps and Dents take different shift levers on their C4's they may have different leverages,angles,lengths,etc. The 78/79 F100/350 with all three trannys took a specific shift rod. Why,I dunno. Throw of shift lever compared to shift indicator maybe? Need a different than Bump shift rod? Both my slides are messed up right where the part number for this rod is. I think it says D8TZ7326A. "Aprox 19.16" LONG. Note, the bushing/retainer that the shift rod uses to connect it to the steering column lever is E0SZ7341B. Still available from Ford.

I didn't see this post until just a few minutes ago (after I had been to the wrecking yard and back again).

I had already thought about this and I think I have a fairly simple solution, if the stock rod won't work.

I can take some 3/8" diameter rod, the needed length, and thread the ends. From there, I can either install Heim joints at each end or, I can install ball joint rod ends.
