Ford put a 4 speed transmission in the later model 75-77(?) models, 4th gear was not a 1:1 drive ratio something like .85:1 overdrive, which was the going thing back then. The F100 and F150 had the same setup and those transmissions look like a 4 speed top loader but with different gear ratios. A lot of people are putting that setup in Cruisers and older Muscle cars. I have done 3 or 4. JPT turned me on th them, just getting harder to find good cores.
