I doubt it is original. Is the number you posted off the side cover of the trans? Sounds like it is - and would indicate a late 60's-to-early 80's Sag 3-speed. You'd need a casting date from somewhere else on the trans to narrow down the date.

Best, maybe only, bet on the linkage is a junkyard. I would think you'd want to look for 3-speed linkage from a 60-66, all would be close to the same.

Also, ensure you actually have a 3-on the tree column before you get started. I'm assuming the truck USED to have a 3 ott, but if it didn't, then you're kinda back to square 1 - and need a steering column also.
