I had a 1968 Chevy cargo van (snub nose style), with a 3 on the tree.
The linkage on that van was worn...and I imagine it was quite long links, as the bottom of the steering column was nearly touching the Headlights
Anyway, when shifting into second gear, if I wasn't careful, I'd often find the linkage's "NO MANS LAND" and it became stuck out of gear, until I rolled to a stop and crawled under the van and jiggled the linkage to free it up.
Driving that thing in hot weather was no fun, My right leg was always leaning against the uninsulated doghouse, and that 350 would heat it up real good.
