a four speed from the same era as the 3 speed or with same input shaft should bolt right up. If the 3 speed has an open drive line you might get lucky but I would plan on some drivelive work too. Floor shifters are available, you want to get one with a longer lever or plan on shifting hunched over, which gets old, I had a T-10 in my 57/235 pick up in the late 60's. The granny four speeds (SM465??) will bolt up to if that is what you want.
