Good news, I now know every conceivable way not to configure the shift linkages and bell crank on an AD truck. The really good news in that I now have a 53 3100, that now shifts like a dream. The bad news is I spent far to many hours of trying figure out what was wrong. The reall bad news, is that I had my bell crank on corretly before I started to hook everything up. I talked myself into turning it around, so the ears were a couple of inches away from the bell housing. Turns out, they are supposed to be right next to it. Thanks for the pictures that EchoBravoSierra posted, I was able to realize my error.
Thank you everybody,
Rugo
