I wonder if the one on ebag has the big bearing retainer for the 383s he makes no mention of it.

It is shown with a /6 bellhousing, so the big retainer is doubtful.

I just noticed that didn't catch it before.

The good news from & since the Carlisle show;

I have found what I believe to be the correct;

Reverse / first arm

2nd / 3rd rod

Reverse lockout rod

Shifter handle

I am still searching for;

The correct B-body diamond shaped shifter mechanism to transmission bracket

The correct 2nd / 3rd shift arm

The correct Reverse / first rod

If anyone has photos of a complete set up for a 1970 B-body with floor shift, I would LOVE to see them.

Photos of the parts I am missing as mentioned above would be great too.

I mocked up what I think are the correct parts with some of I know are not correct & it does shift OK, but I want to have all correct parts for the article with photos I want to do.

(I have the 1970 A & E body sets covered at this point)

I have made more progress on this, I picked up a free partial 1970 B-body transmission in Washington D.C. yesterday, thanks James!

I still need a photo of the correct 2nd / 3rd rod for this application.

Anyone know what it looks like or know of one?

Did you ever find the rest of your pieces? I recently picked up a complete setup out of a 70 RR

Cool. 2nd one from front is what I have. I've never had one before, tough to find.

Yes they are.

The one behind it is identical, just different shift handles for console vs. no console.

Are your shifter ball threads RH fine thread or LH course thread?

Thanks!

There are 4 variants of the ball too.

Chrysler did not make this stuff easy to figure out 50 years later.
