I do not think it is an exact match, but it appears to be close enough.
I would guess one is an NP435 and the other is a T-18?
they both have a side cover with 6 bolts, the replacement trans is missing the plate, by doing some approximate measuring while the trans is mounted in the truck the plates seem to be the same, I am hoping to use the one off the bad trans.
the tail housings are different lengths, but the overall length of both transmissions is almost the same.
and the mount appears to be very close to the same distance from the mounting bolts on the front of trans. I am crawling under the truck in the rocks to get these measurements, as I no longer have a garage to work in.
I guess what I am getting at, how likely is it that the new trans will bolt right up without major parts swapping? One trans is in a 73 f250, the other I believe came out of a 79 f series. thank you for the tolerance
