Boy dad's a rough customer. Nothing like three on the tree manual to learn on. LOL...

I learned on a beat to death 1979 Datsun 210 five speed. My first manual column shifter was a loose and beat up unit in a 1975 C10. It took a few minutes to Suss how to operate it. Gramps said it's just an H pattern on its side. Still takes a minute to wrap your head around. She locked up on my first 1-2 shift by shifting into both gears... $300 for a running 8' truck with no rust holes.
A couple gallons of diesel, grease, adjustment, and some welding & grinding to build up the bar that fits in the grooves in the arms. Usually they aren't that worn but I didn't have the $ to replace it.

Any 84 and up squarebody column will work.
