overdrive mount

I am looking how to mount the overdrive shift cable to the transmission. My 1969 F-100 with 3 on the column with (non working) overdrive. I bought this without a shift lever connected. anyone with a picture or graphic or good description to help me mount this ? Thank you

My father had a 1960 Ford Fairlane with overdrive. The control was a push/pull cable that was mounted on the dashboard next to the steering wheel.

In the case of my Dad's car, the outer jacket of the cable was clamped down to the overdrive mechanism with the inner solid wire attached to the overdrive engagement level.

I don't know much about the 3 speed overdrive transmissions, but here are some articles that might be of some help:
The Borg-Warner Overdrive Transmission Explained- FORDification.com
The Overdrive Transmission explained - The FORDification.com Forums (you need to scroll up to the start of the article)
