I have a customer that wants me to build an OEM Hurst shifter and the back drive linkage to go with it. He brought me two of the lower back drive rods. The stamping on the rods that he provided is a little different than two of the rods that I have that I personally took off original cars. I’m looking for input - are the customer supplied rods original or some reproduction?

TIA for any info.

Thanks…Crash
