They are certainly not "stock unmolested" shift linkage rods......

Cut down in length makes sense. With a short tailshaft (actually mid-length tailhousing - not the real short one) and they seem about right in length - there wouldn't have been any reason to extend them. They are really well done - look like factory fabrication - had me fooled. I'm use to GM transmission stuff and figured it was some odd Ford stuff from Hurst. Looks like"unmolested" was an unfortunate choice of words on my part.

To the bench vise.
