I am not sure. I know that the 3 speed column shift was a common among these trucks. I have a 67 Fleetside LWB truck that has it and my dad parted out a 68 SWB stepside that had one as well.
I have never had any problems with my 3 on the tree, but they have been known to have problems with the linkage from the column to the trans. They can tend to bind up and get stuck. Once that happens, you just about have to get out of the truck and free it up.
I am trying to talk my brother into installing a floor mount shifter to simplify the setup. Besides, he already has a hole in the floor where the transfer stick comes through, should be an easy modification.
