New Guy Trans Question

Hey Gang,

I am the proud new owner of a short bed styleside 1960 f100 with a fresh 223 and a column shift 3 speed. I haven't owned a vintage truck before and I had a question to put out to the forum.

My trans intermittently grinds when I put it in first after a stop. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to whether it grinds or not. I adjusted the clutch to both extremes of it's range and found no change to the grinding, I adjusted the clutch to the recommended amount of play. Is this experience normal, am I just being paranoid.

Thanks in advance.
