Without doing research on the exact time line, Saginaw made the 3 speeds fully syncro in early to mid sixties, so anything before that, yes, most people had to come to a stop. Double clutching and revving the engine in neutral would bring the trans internal rpm up to slide in first while moving on the early non-syncro trans.
