I am 71 years old. When I was a child growing up these 3 speed column shift manual transmissions were very common on cars and pickup trucks. My parents had a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air that had a 3 speed column shift. Back in the 1950s and 1960s the three speed column shifts were called the standard transmission. This was because the three speed column shift was the base transmission for many vehicles. The automatic transmission was an extra cost optional transmission. By the early 1980s these 3 speed column shift transmissions were no longer made.
@@ironsidegarage1479 Easy fix by lining up the shift linkage above the steering column. I had to do this many times on my Dad's 63 GMC V6!! Thanks for responding!! I enjoy your channel!!

@ David Grisez Nothing beats the 50s and 60s. We need to save them and keep them on the road.
Another great video, the metal sound when the door closed, dang I miss that haha.
Yes sir
You can tuck a cotton ball in the crack of the windows until you can fix them to stop the squeaking, or a rubber bushing.
Great idea. I have the new seals. Just need to install them.
nice 64! Does the shifter ever lock up if you try to speed shift from first to second...they all did!!
@Charles F ha ha yes it does. She’s definitely not a speeder. She’s a slow cruiser for sure. Turns at 3 mph on stock suspension 😄

@@charlesf4428 thanks for the tip. Once we are done moving I plan on doing some major work to ole girl.
@@charlesf4428 thanks brother!! I am about to go work on the Mach 1 now. We have been in the middle of a move so it has slowed progress quite a bit.
