gear box linkages

[87droptop]

Hi everyone, i hooked up the linkages to the box, 1968, i think it is a muncie... there are two long shaped brackets and one short one that connect the rods to the box selectors. i placed them from rear to front: short, long, long. the gear stick is back all the way, cant move it forward or sideways. anyone has an idea as to how to fit these?
Thanks.

thanks, box looks very similar, my brackets between the rods and the box are slightly different, and the short one definitly not bent like this one, but i did have it from the top not the bottom.... great help mate, will try again, cheers.
