Tell us what year the car is, there are 2 different transmissions, tail shift and side shift, it makes it easier to suggest what to look at next.

Sorry it a 74 side shift. I need to get a buddy to help so i can look at the trany as some moves the stick so i can check the linkage. Thanks for everyones help I have pics as sson as i figure this out and can get the car back driving.
A sheared roll pin can cause this. Is the transmission stuck in a gear, or not able to be put in any gear (stuck in neutral)? This is not likely a bushing as a bushing typically only messes up the left-right selection, but you still have fore and aft.
When you say rebuilt and you have receipts, who did the work and what do you have receipts for??? Just because it was "rebuilt" does not mean it was done correctly (shift fork maladjustment can cause what you are experiencing), and receipts only mean that parts were bought. If the rebuild was not done right you would get what you have. If it is an alignment issue, you will be able to tell by removing the selector console. Check to see if the selector rod is moving first and then remove the console and check it. If you cant put the selector in neutral for the removal you will need to drive the roll pin out of the end and remove the boll end first.
But, one step at a time.
