When I first got my truck I had the same problem for two years. I oiled the linkage under the hood but it didn't help. One day I noticed the pin in my shifter handle was working out so I pulled it on out and removed the shifter handle.
I forget exactly how but I could tell the shifter was in wrong. I greased it and put it in correctly and haven't had a problem since. Shifts like brand new now.
I've had my 71 just over a year now. It was random seldom at first. Recently it's happened 3 times in a month. I've never had this column apart. So it's probably dried up and full of space dust. I will take this on tonight
