Thanks Peggy I think the shift rods you mention are the turn signal lever & the tilt steering wheel lever. Shifter is a Hurst floor shifter connected to a mid '60's wide ratio Muncie 4 spd This model steering column came with no shift levers, it's especially for trucks with floor shift transmissions.
