What transmission

I'm looking at a 1988 F-250 with the 351 engine and manual transmission. (You can call it a 5.8 but I'm old and NOT metric) My question is which transmission does it have? Supposedly everything works okay and it runs and shifts fine. It'll be a few days before I put my mark one eye ***** on it and I'd like to know what I'm looking at.

88 with a 351 SHOULD have ZF-5 speed.
but it is also 36 years old, and another trans could have been swapped in if the ZF went bad.
