Gear shift linkage on '53 - Help!

I just got my truck back a couple weeks ago from the machine shop where I had my flathead rebuilt and I think he did something wrong when reinstalling. When I push my clutch pedal down, my gear shift linkage rubs against the clutch and keeps me from shifting gears. Everything looks like it's in the right place and I can't figure out what's wrong.

Does anyone have a clear picture of what the correct hookup is for the linkage (at both ends) so I can compare mine? If not, I'll take some pictures and post them to see if anyone can spot the issue.

Thanks!

I don't have pics of what you need, but what's the possibility of taking it back to the shop and having them fix their problem? It should work after its been repaired.
