Default Re: 1962 manual. 3 speed vs 4 speed: pros/cons

Gentlemen, i would like to propose an idea:

I am an idiot.

I failed to notice one simple, yet glaringly large detail between the two transmissions i now have.

The one in the truck is a top shifter.
The one on the motor to go in the truck shifts on the side.

Hence: idiot.

It leads me to believe it came from a 3 on the tree. Oddly though, there are two separate ( it looks like) shifters on the drivers side. The lower one will only move(3 clicks total) after the top shifter has been shifted back one click. (Totaling 3 also.)

I can't post pics here from my phone.
Where should i look for ID numbers?
I'll be posting it for sale soon as i plan to keep the 4speed.
One other note which might help: the motor #'s are: 305A67199

Thanks again for all the help. I'm a good wrench, not a great mechanic, and very ignorant of the details about this truck.
