Do any of you have a photo of an original plunger starter linkage on a 55-59 truck?

I am planning on running this on my truck. I have a 48, but with a 56 235 in it. I have a 55-59 bellhousing and thought this linkage bolted to it, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. There is no place for it to bolt.

Any photos or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

LOL, Jim, you are the guy I bought the bell housing and the linkage from!

I don't see the bosses for the linkage on the bell housing. I'll have to dig it out and get a better look at it.
