New to me and need some guidance - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just bought this 64 shortbed with a 292 3 speed manual trans with a 3.08 rear gear. The challenge is the trans does not have a synchro 1st gear and when trying to turn corners that are to slow for second gear it is all but impossible to get it in 1st until you are almost stopped.

Is there a 3 speed that will replace the one in my truck with a synchro 1st gear. I really like the 3.08 rear gear for highway driving.

Any potential easy and inexpensive options to my problems would be appreciated. Thanks
