Looks to be around 1968.
What engine are you putting it behind?
1968 really? it was on a 460 when i pulled it, ill be puttin it on my 460 soon
i thought the early cases had ribs on the back :confused:
i'd say later truck. 80's...looks like a linkage, rather than cable shift.
whats the numbers on the valve body..

early trucks had the ribbed housing. other wise a hd trans had ribbs. lincolns use the ribbed case too
ill check tonight for more numbers.. as far as the shifting goes i would think its a linkage, but i dono cuz i never had a auto. its got like a ratchet mechanism shifter, P R N D 2 1
Does the modulator screw in or push in?

If it's a push in the case is 72 or later.

There should be a small tag on the transmission, either extension housing, pan or servo cover.

Clean the lever off...their should be a number on it...that should get you pretty close to the year... Post what they are and I can tell what the lever came out of...no guarantee they didn't change levers, but it's a column shift probably out of a truck.
found the number tag and it wasnt even rusted! i guess its a 1979

Must have a push in modulator provided the lever wasn't swapped.

Looks like what you have is out of a late 78 or 79 Ford Truck...2WD with a 400M motor. Close as I could get.
yea thats what id say, im usin it with my divorced t case so it WILL be 4x4.. but i dont have a auto steering columnwith a shifter sooo, what do i need to make it a floor shifter if possible?
