Shift pattern malfunction on 69 C20's 4 speed w/granny

[anthony88d]

I am having problems shifting my dads 69 C20. I have been driving this pickup for over a year and had my shares of getting used to her quarks. After driving one day, I went to back into a spot and I couldn't shift into reverse. It kept falling into 4. I finaly got it but then when I went to leave a few minutes later, I had difficulty shifting into 3 then into 4. And now when I pull out of 3, either to upshift or downshift, she will click like she would when leaving reverse. Now that long throw for reverse is gone and 3, 4, and reverse are more of a upside down y split then a h split. I poked around online and found a thread on pirate forums regarding slop in the shifter due to bad tack welds and roll pins in the shift tower. I think it is somehing deeper since the pattern is flip floped. My dad has plans for this pick up but I need it as a daily driver until I can find something else.
