Default Backdrive linkage ID

Can anyone tell me what this backdrive linkage is for? I don't remember where I got it and when.
The number on the lower rod is 3072, upper is 3067, and the idler assy. is 3073.

2nd Gen F body with muncie or T-10 tranny. I think the one for a saginaw tranny is different. Do you want to sell it?

That's what I guessed it might be for after checking it against my Chevelle backdrives. Thanks

I do want to sell it, but am unsure of what to ask for it. I'll post it for sale after I figure that out.

The Muncie horizontal rod is longer and bent different...
The Muncie pivot mounts closer to the sub-frame...
The vertical rods are bent different...
Hope this helps... Crash

My 1972 Camaro has this same upper rod and crank...now I will admit that I bought it in 1978 when it was 6 years old, but it seems odd that it has this part on it, that is why I assumed it was the same for all 2nd Gen F bodies. My Camaro has a Muncie in it not a T10.

After I posted this, I did try to remember where I might have got this from. It was with some Hurst linkage that came out of a 72 Camaro and had been running a `67 L88, and a Muncie.
I looked at the Hurst linkage and saw it has a reverse lever that will accept the backdrive rod.
Maybe the 72 Camaro owner adapted it to his car somehow.
