Identify this trans
I am sure this is an easy one for you guys. 
I had a heck of a time with my driveshafts, I believe someone here will tell me that originally the rear yoke on this tranny was threaded to accept caps and bolts that would hold the universal joint to it?
I believe that someone at one point drilled out these holes, the correct U-bolts for the universal joint were not long enough to go over the universal and then all the way thru the yoke and still have enough thread to get a nut and a lockwasher.
I ended up using the next size up U-bolt, compressed its width just a tad so that it would fit in the two holes and massage it the rest of the way in the hole and then around the U-joint cap.
So was this yoke originally threaded and what type of tranny would this be called in case someone asks me in the future.
Good tranny, junk tranny? What are your opinions

4 spd, it has a PTO cover, it was attached to a 1970 351 W when I pulled both together out of a 68 F-350. I am told that engine was not original either though for that truck. Maybe the trans was ? Tell me what I need to get and I will get it so we can identify it. Thanks

Both the New Process 435 (NP435) & Warner T-18 4 speeds were introduced in 1965 F100/350's. Both have PTO covers.
NP435: The shift lever retainer cap (B8T-7220-D) has two notches, is retained by two (visable) pins that protrude from the shift tower.
To remove this cap, it must be pressed down and held down while turning it to remove it. Clueless peeps unaware of this process use pliers to remove it, which tears out one or both of the notches.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warner T-18: The shift lever retainer cap (8MTH-7220) threads on/off. When removed, exposes a roll pin within the threads that retains the shift lever in place.
351W (6 valve cover bolts per side) not available for F150/350's until 1981. Not available for any year F100.

If it is a NP435 (does look like 2wd flavor), they are very good transmissions. They were used in many HD applications. Only downfall these days is the lack of overdrive. I think they have an aluminum top if I remember correctly.

Very good tranny. I dropped the main shaft years ago and with some jimmying on the stick got it into third and drove it home with a 20' gooseneck trailer and still did over 40mph. Very easy to work on to shoud you need to rebuild.
