My 68 GMC did the same think after I replace rubber bushings on the link arms -top and bottom. I found shift levers were rubbing against each other and had to loosen them up at the top and rotate slightly so that they wouldn't touch while shifting. Find someone that's familiar with column shifting and have them go through the gears while you obseve the links in engine compartments.

Also, as a test, disconnect linkage at the bottom and manually move the levers through the gears to make sure they engage. And, lastly, check the clutch adjustment.
