I just bought a 54 Chev Pickup and discovered that it would not shift except between 2nd and 3rd. I thought the linkage was not adjusted properly. After taking the linkages loose, the transmisssion shifts into gears "at the transmission" with the upper linkages disconnected. The shift box was taken apart and it appears to be working properly. However, with the shift lever properly attached to the steering column, the shaft will not lift far enough to engage forward and reverse in the shift box no matter how it is adjusted. So my question is.... Could someone have installed a shift lever assembly from a Pre 54 truck that will not work on a 54???
