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.

early trucks had the ribbed housing. other wise a hd trans had ribbs. lincolns use the ribbed case too

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.

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.
