I have never seen this problem myself but have heard about it -- FC's 
popping out of gear.

Just finished the engine rebuild on my early '61 rampside, and it is 
happily back on the road.  Yesterday my father gave 
me a triangular bracket that bolts to the crossmember and braces against 
the transmission crossmember via a large bolt.  I had never seen this 
before, but a '61 
van he has has the part on it.

Today I went to look at a '63 rampside for sale ( better judgement 
prevailed and I did not buy it).  It was an early '63 and had the early 
style shifter.  It did not have this part.

So I am wondering when was this added?

Thanks
