Saginaw swap

[Jgowin]

I'm working on a 66 c10, when I got the truck home the original trans and linkages were long gone. I'm wanting to put a later fully synchronized Saginaw in place of the original. The trans I have is supposed to be out of a 67 or 68 c10 mated to a 250 I6, I have a set of levers and linkages for a 67-72, I'm wanting to keep the shifter on the column. The linkages and levers aren't working out, Could I be running into a v8 verses I6 linkage issue? I would think that I would be having for issues if so if I was trying to run a v8, help or advice would be appreciated, thanks.
