You may find it easiest to work with an aftermarket shifter, which should have adjustable rods with it. I do know the od trans has the aluminum case, and was built after about 1974ish, during the gas crunch around then.

There is a whole lot of information here that should help, I scanned it and it tells differences for identification.

ok thanks, the page was helpfull I also found another as well, it appears that the trans we have according to the btail shaft length and style was used fron 75-87 in trucks and vans, now we just need to find the rods, what sort of after market shifter are you referring to?, Hurst or [email protected] maybe?

That's what I was thinking as far as shifter goes. Might even be able to find some now that the trans is identified. At least now you should be able to find internet pictures to get an idea what you are looking for. I found the article to be pretty informative after reading more of it.
