It depends on what it is going into. You can get a C4 or an AOD with the small block bolt pattern, but they aren't really suited for a full size truck. They can be built to handle a lot of power though.
The strongest Ford auto would be the C6. It is capable of handling major power and to live in a full size truck.
If you want OD, the E4OD is the trans of choice. You will need a stand alone ECM to control it though.
