I have a 53' chevy with the stock transmission and it is 3 on the tree. I finally got my truck running and took it up the street for a test drive. I could shift through the gears going up the street but when I came back down the street the transmission wouldn't want to shift from 2 to 3rd. Is there a certain way to connect the linkage so that there isn't a hang up?

The linkage may need adjustment at the transmission or the shift box on the column. There are also bushings on the shift links at the column shift box that could be worn. Check a shop manual for adjustments. If you have no manual try this site. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/
