Help with 1973 Ford Bronco U15

[HellBoun]

Were any '73 U15s with the 6 cylinder originally a 3 speed on the floor rather than the column? Ours has the floor shifter, and we cant find the VIN tag with the info to decode it. The column has a closed plug over the location that looks like it was meant to be that way?
Any help welcome, and Thanks for the help...

No factory transmission floor shifters. Fairly common to convert to floor after the column starts giving people trouble.

Every single EB built originally came with a column shifter - regardless of manual or automatic. Anything other than a column shift is not factory.
