which transmission?
New here and just picked up a 77 f100 2wd swb according to vin it was originally 302 3 on the tree the guy I got it from said it was swapped to a 360 and 4 on the floor from a 72 car. no question about the motor but he said reverse is all the way to the right and up. I picked it up yesterday and haven't had time to get it running but I was wondering what transmission it is. It is the smallest as in shortest transmission I have ever seen. Thanks in advance

NP435 = aluminum top cover w/8 bolts
T-18 = cast iron top cover w/6 bolts Warranty Plate TRANS code: A = NP435 (N-1965 only) / F = Warner T-18 / P = F350 Warner T-19.
Warner shift lever retainer cap (8MTH-7220) threads on/off.
NP435 shift lever retainer cap (B8T-7220-D) has two notches, is retained to shift tower by two pins.
To remove this cap, it must be pressed down and held down while turning it to remove it.
People unaware use pliers or channel locks to remove it, which tears out one or both of the notches. Not pleasant! Now they aren't going anywhere.
Originally NP435: Reverse-down towards the seat while Warner T-18: Reverse-up towards the dash.
The reverse shift pattern was changed circa 1973, but I can't recall for which of these 4 speeds.
Note: There's another 4 speed: RUG SR-OD Single Rail 4 Speed Overdrive introduced in 1978 F100/150 300/302, TRANS code B
