I've seen a lot of trucks, but I saw my first 58-59 with a factory looking floor shift. I saw the truck at a mechanic's shop and he said it is factory. The steering column has no shifter and the shifter itself is the long straight truck style. I'm not sure if it is a 3 or 4 spd. Was this a option on 1/2 ton non-
4-WD trucks. No pictures as the guy said it was not for sale. Let me know what you think, could it be a factory 3-SPD on floor?
