'83 F150 Standard Cab LongBed 2WD. 300 Straight 6. Basically I money pit for me, but I loved that truck. Sold it to my little Bro for half of what I put in it (not counting what I paid for it either.) But had a deal on a 1994 w/ power options and the V8.

No such trans existed back then. This is what your new truck came with: RUG SR-OD Single Rail 4 Speed Overdrive. It's not a 5 speed.

Installed in 1978/83 F100/150's & E100/150's, misc 1978/83 Passenger Cars.

RUG replaced in 1984 by the RTS TS-OD Top Shift 4 Speed Overdrive, used thru 1989. Not installed in cars and it's not a 5 speed either.
Thinking back 36 years and you are right, it was a useless transmission for a 300 6 that's the one thing I do remember, CRS is my only defense.

I know what you mean...we were never really picture takers until my first child was born so I don't have pics of most of my vehicles. Looking for one of my 89 that my dad owned before me. He had the old man topper on it that was the first thing I removed
