T-19 Info wanted?

I have a 1979 F-150 4X4 with the 400 CDI and the C-6 tranny. I like the C-6 but don't love it. I had an 1985 F-350 with the 460 CDI and the T-19. I loved the tranny but didn't much like the body stile. Ok my thought is to find the same tranny as the 86. I can find the tranny from Pro King but I'm a little confused as to the what is the difference of the T19-A, B, C, and D? What's the ratios? I even called them and they didn't have specks outher then what truck it went into. Anyone got a clue?

P.S. Sorry about the bad spilling.

Basic id info here:

Domestic Truck Tranny Guide

More detailed info including ratios here:

The Borg-Warner T18 & T19 Transmissions - Novak Conversions

FWIW: If you are going to go to all the trouble to swap to a MT, consider a ZF 5 speed. It will cost more, but you'll get OD....

Dose the ZF 5 speed have the low first? Dose the NP 205 mount up to the ZF? I was thinking of the NV 4500 but then I was told it wasn't really all that tuff. I also was thinking of the Ranger splitter OD unit that would be a very tuff combo with the T 19 or 18. I know I could get an NV 4500 for about the same as the splitter but I could get an T 19 for very little and have a very tuff combo. So many ways I could go I haven't made up my mind. I was also going to do a dubbler on the transfercase using a NP 204 (not sure thats the right one, im a little tired) and my NP 205. What do you think? I'm taking ideas.

NV 4500 is plenty tough. There were some issues with 5th gear in some models but that can be fixed.

The Ranger unit that fits between the bell and trans is good but NOISY. LOUD NOISY.

ZF first gear is 5.72. The bell to trans pattern will fit the 460 mounted ZFs, but you may have some fiddling to do with the pilot.

NV4500, Ranger OD and other info:

High Impact - NV4500 5spd

As for trans to TC, iirc they use an adaptor or there is a "standard" pattern--not sure on that one.

Every time someone brags on the NV4500 I post his URL... LOL :)

...it's a cryin' shame they did those splines like that, ain't it? :/

Anyway, seems simple enough. :)
Do you want, need or might use overdrive?
If not, get a T-19 again, if so, get a ZF or a modified NV4500.

Just check to be sure the T-19's got the ratio you want...
