Are they worth trying to save?

I got under the gray van I got from gotavan yesturday to check out the flex plate, and yes its loose at the crank so Dan was right in that diagnosis. (Its broke) In the process of removing things I will not be needing at least 1 of the shifter rods and clutch rod, are these worth trying to save?, I cant figure out a way to get them out in one piece, especially the shifter linkage. ( I still think they built these vans around that stuff). I also need to come up with names for these rigs , The wife is kinda taking a shine to the gray one and even bought a peace sign to hang from the mirror, first accessory I guess. I have a sneaking feeling it might have to be road worthy before "mine" is.

Yeah G this van is VERY save-able there isn't a rust hole through anything underneath it. It would take only a small effort to get it goin' once the flex plate is replaced Im thinking. It just needs a "Shine".
Any way back to the extra parts, okay Don I will try that, I did get the one rod started out the grill but ran out of room to get a twist going on it, The clips /bushings/and tranny ends I can see a need for, just never heard anybody wanting the whole linkage rod.( I already have 2 from the other van and a clutch rod and throttle linkage)

Digz, I shot you an email of my linkage with the PG setup pics.May be hard to tell which is what one,especially dirty rods against dirty body.My stuff ain't all clean and shiney.lol Hope it helps.

Thanks ,, they came thru great, sorta like I was hoping to, GM didnt get to creative and used what they already had for the most part.

Hey that looks pretty clean to me under there ! I'll get some pics of a greaseball tomorrow , That looks like a good solid van from underneath Moe.

Got the shifter rod out today, and yes it came through the grill with a minimal tweaking. They have the shift arm on the tranny bent up and around, Whats it sposed to look like? and is that short arm a kickdown? they have it wired back right now, Did the vans have a kickdown?

takin the clutch stuff out too.
