That was me, actually. Not a sister... But anyway... cool

I think your tranny is a 3 speed from an earlier truck. IINM, it's the synchromesh 3 speed used in the 40's.

I think that Thing came with a 4 speed (SM420, probably) originally, since he's a 1 ton, and the factory 3 speeds were standard on the 1/2 and 3/4 tons. That, and I don't see a 3 on the tree shifter hole on your steering column. grin
