c6 shifter help

I have a 1985 f150 2wd with a 300 straight 6 and a c6 trans. I pulled the engine and trans out of this truck to reseal the engine and trans about 2 years ago when I was still working a Ford for my boss. when we found out that crank was grooved to hell it got put on the back burner. Since then I have quit and now my old boss wanted me to put the engine and trans t at my house.

the problem I am now running into I dont remember how the shift linkage goes any pics or link would help alot.

Here is an example with the bracket and the bellcrank piece. The inner arm is the shifter, the outer small arm is the kickdown lever, you can see that is not hooked up in the picture below.

This is not exactly like yours, but it has the same theme with the rod from the column to the bell-crank, and then the other short rod from the bellcrank to the trans lever.

So the shift arm in the trans goes upward and down ward?
