1956 F250 OD Trans identification
I have what appears to be a 5 speed overdrive in my F250. According to the vin this truck had a 4speed all synchro.
This trans has 6 positions, 4 speeds, reverse and one at 12:00 that says "OD". Would this mean it came out of a heavy duty truck like a 500 or 600?

6.15
3.64
1.89
1.00
.798
6.00 rev

And BTW, its coupled to a Lincoln V8 with an ECM id no which shows it was off the same era - I guess either out of a Lincoln (valve covers) or out of a big truck as this is a Y Block engine which I guess they used in both.

That makes sense, thanks. Any key physical traits I could spot to pin it down? Anything bad about having this trans in the truck?

Engine doesn't run - has been sitting A LONG time.
Unfortunately I'm going to have to sell it as my daily driver just blew an engine and I'm going to need the money.
Heres a few pics just for grins...

Well thanks for all of your input. I had a feeling it was a large truck set up but its nice to hear that from the experts!
It also has an aux gas tank mounted under the bed which looks to me like a factory(?) or at least of that era option. Very sanitary with a large glass topped fuel filter mounted in line that looks like it could have been a large truck extra too.
