Trans. shifter pattern (Stupid question I know)
I have a 1973 Ford F100 which came to me with no trans. and no shifter. I finally got a trans and have it in the truck. I bought a cheap universal 3-speed shifter for now. The previous owner stopped by to talk to me and looked at the shifter pattern on the shifter and said oh thats wrong. The shifter says it fits ford 3-speeds. The pattern is:

The previous owner said it should be:

I think the first one makes more sense. What do you guys say? He got me really confused over this. I know this is probably a really stupid question to you guys but he swears up and down that 2nd gear was right and down instead of up. Please help.
