What did the transmission you installed come from? Truck or car? Is the side plate (plate for the shifter shafts) the same as your original transmission?
When I installed a manual overdrive 3 speed (which came from a car) in my 63 C10, I had to use side plate off original truck transmission. The length of the shifter shafts for the truck were longer than those on the O/D trans. The change in side plate fixed my alignment issue. Hope this helps.
