Purchased a 1965 GMC 1000 series with a manual 3 on the tree. The linkage is frequently sticking in 3rd, most often. As such, I'm considering going to a floor shifter to alleviate this linkage problem. I've been searching for a floor shifter, but am coming up empty. Hurst doesn't have a complete kit, you have to purchase the shifter and linkage separately, and I haven't found anything for a 1965, plus Quite expensive. I've seen recommendations to use Mr gasket, but they no longer make a 3 speed shifter kit.
Does anyone have any recommendations??

Thank you to all who were quick to respond; providing me with timely and correct info needed to get this correctly addressed today with the body shop. I will be providing this doc I created (with the help of AI) for them to follow. I made it as clear as possible.
Maybe they'll consider this disrespectful, but they did perform the install correctly the first time. If they allow me to (which I do not believe is allowed for liability and insurance requirements) I will bring the bolts home and replace myself.

Same… have been used to reaching in the door or window and using the light switch for years. On the glass center screen makes zero sense ergonomically but I can only assume some young engineer or accountant justified it by saying they’re automatic and no one uses the switch.
