all truck and car 3 speeds were column shift in these vintages, so is it an aftermarket type like Hurst or later model Saginaw or GM? If it's a car trans and shifter the lever will be too short and may need modified to miss the seat. I put a Hurst shifter in my 1st 57 TF in 69 and had to drive around hunched over to reach it.
