Any 1995 to 1997 F-Series or E-Series 4x2 with a 7.5L is compatible. Nothing else is. An earlier trans from those models would be compatible if you change the solenoid body to a 1995 or newer.

'Took a crap' is kinda vague is there any chance of rebuilding it? What happened to the poor thing?

I don’t think they starting making the e4od until the late 80’s.

1989. However you don't want it (far too many internal weaknesses and you need an expert among experts to fix them correctly. Even half of those select few, will tell you not to bother lol. I just made that last part up, though I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.) Look for a '90-94 and swap the pack or a 95-97 for direct replacement.
