I'm hardly the expert on these things, but with my own transmission
problems I'm learning quickly.
I will concur with this assessment:

If your transmission is original, it's entirely likely that the synchro
drum or the brass rings within it are worn, and the whole trans is no doubt
due for a rebuild. I would suggest, however, that you go straight to
BowTie Bits:
Bowtie Bits Antique Truck Parts

And ask them about their rebuilds. Unless you're expert at these sorta
things, and even then, apparently some of the parts are near impossible to
find, and Jeff @ Bowtie is now hand-tooling some of them.
Wish somebody had told me about BowTie bits a year ago when I started
having probs with my transmission, so I'm passing the info along here
before you get too deep into the quagmire. G'luck.
