Ok it should have had a pawl or if it did maybe the spring was broken or missing .

My ‘56 had one .

I’ve run into several younger owners that didn’t know about putting it in reverse and were jumping out and putting a block under a tire . Once I told them about putting it in reverse and shutting it off they were happy truckers .
