A "Toploader" is the performance Ford transmission introduced in 1965 to replace the BORG WARNER T-10, a side loaded transmission. A toploader is NOT a T-10.
As for the RUG transmission, those are built on the toploader pattern. There are pictures here. Issues might be bolting it to your bell--the six vs. V8 patterns different. You might be able to drill it to fit. The input shaft length needs to be sorted out.
Toploader Imposters
There are other versions of the 4 speed OD, and the SROD uses a remote shifter vs. the external linkage of the RUG transmission. It may be able to be converted to a more remote shifter but keeping it on the column would be a challenge.
More ratio and application info.
