Markeb01 I used the exact shifter for my 1962 C-10 I used to have years ago. I believe it was 55-57 and also bought the installation kit which made the shift smooth and tight. I bolted it up to a 4 spd Saginaw but the only thing I had to do was heat and bend forward (a little bit)the lower part of the shifter cause 4th gear was hitting the bench seat. But it came out nice and fun to drive.
