3 speed overdrive guys need some help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok been doing a lot of searching but nothing.
My issue is I have a 66 truck with a non syncro 3 speed and I'm converting to a syncro 3 speed od. I want to keep the shift on the column. The first shift rod is fine but the rear one is farther back. I picked up some shift rods for a 72 column shift truck thinking it would be a bolt in job. But the rear rod doesn't clear the shift fork. So now I'm thinking of just extending my original one to fit.

Has anyone come across this issue before?
Please chime in
