Need help with shifter linkages

I have a 61 with a 223 with what used to be 3 on the tree. I want to move the shifter back to the column and have all the parts except for the linkages that go from the column to the transmission.

I have seen the posts with the part numbers and see that these are almost impossible to find. I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to take a picture of a 61-64 setup (the rods) so that I could get a general shape so that I can bend my own.

Thanks!

Thanks, but everything that I have seen is that 61-64 are the same and they change in 65.

You could always custom bend your own.. It would be a quick job if you have the adjustable swivel nuts for the linkage

That is what I plan on doing. I was hoping somebody could snap some pictures of the original setup and post them so I had a starting point

I did. I didn't get your address or the shipping cost. If you let me know that I will send it to you.

Do you also have the transmission shift rods? If you could snap a couple pictures of those I would appreciate it!

Dnsenne, I forgot to measure the length of the steering column before Is net it to you. Could you measure it for me and let me know the length? I would appreciate it.
