Skip1970, the pin can slide inward when the shifter is removed, & drop into the trans. You should be able to retrieve it through the PTO cover - you might need a magnet.

Well I see I never updated this thread.
1) I replaced the pins, I think there was 2, they were still in place but worn down. Shifter is much tighter now.
2) I found the original shift **** in the bed of the truck. The pattern is still visible. The PO had replaced it with an 8-ball, a real one, that he drilled out.
3) When I replaced the pins, I pulled the shift lever and bent it down and towards the driver with a torch so I don't hit my knuckles on the dash going to reverse anymore. Much better.
