Jewels,
The problem is NOT in the transmission but in the adjustment of the 3spd linkages. Whoever adjusted the linkages doesnt have the 3rd gear engagement setup correctly. Whats happening is youre partially going into 3rd gear and its enough to keep the truck moving but gears are not fully engaged. Readjust your linkages back to where they were or have an EXPERIENCED mechanic adjust them for you. Not many people can setup 3spd linkages correctly. Its a lost art. If you were closer to MN Id set it up correctly for you. Jewels I will bet you theres nothing wrong with that transmission of yours but if you keep driving it with misadjusted linkages youre going to have some chipped gears in your near future. Chances are your other linkage is misadjusted as well. You dont use 1st and 2nd enough probably to notice like you do with 3rd. Hope you catch this post in time before you start tearing too deeply into this. Its a easier fix than you think.
